Angela's Ashes
by Frank McCourt
I don't know how this reads as a book about "poverty in Ireland" which is what the cover blurb stated it was about - but it was an amazing account of childhood; the innocence, the humour, the helplessness and above all the audacity to dream. I did not expect the book to be so blunt, with so much shock value and so much voice. The author interviews at the end of my copy also made for an interesting read. One of the last questions was, what motivates and inspires you. McCourt's answer: the fact that time is running out - that's his biggest motivator.
