Angela's Ashes: A Memoir
by Frank McCourt
Angela's Ashes is on my short list of favorite audiobooks.
Frank McCourt narrates the book. There is something extra about an individual that reads a book that he writes. Angela's Ashes is an account of Frank's childhood, to listen to his written words in his own voice is a treasure.
This book reminds me of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. The point of view of the child, the incomplete understandings of the child, the close-knit family, the struggles, poverty and hunger.
"Worse than the ordinary, miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."
Such good writing.
