A review by cilie
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
slow-paced
4.0
Frak McCourt narrates his own memoirer to perfection; He speaks a distinct Irish but does other dialects, like American and British, and he sings quite nicely when relevant.
The story of McCourt's childhood in deep poverty is a heart breaking one, but also one full of love and kindness, hope and dreams. It reads like a novel with a narrative voice that develops slowly as Frank gets older. The characters spring of the page and come to life; some you hate, some you love and some break your heart.
