About this listen
Written with the vitality and resonance of a work of fiction, and a remarkable absence of sentimentality, Angela's Ashes is imbued on every page with Frank McCourt's distinctive humour and compassion. Out of terrible circumstances, he has created a glorious book in the tradition of Ireland's literary masters, which bears all the marks of a great classic.

A heart wrenching tale of poverty
McCourt’s memoir is touching, somehow skipping between being both light and tragic, following the life of the eldest son living in abject poverty in New York and Ireland. Brilliantly narrated, I was sorry to have finished it.

I laughed with moistened eyes …
I was reminded of how blessed I have been these 62 years I’ve lived. I’ve never known anything like the desperation Frank and his family faced from abject poverty all those years ago.
The engrossing story is well told and I was flip flopped between balancing tears and laughing out loud.
Five stars all round *****.

Fantastic. I suppose writing this autobiography must have been therapeutic for Mr. Frank McCourt. What a gentleman!
A wonderful book. Makes one grateful of the abundance of today. To recount such misery with humor, you must be an extremely intelligent human being.

Angela’s ashes
So disappointed that this is the abridged version and that the unabridged version is not available in my country! Waste of money as I’ll now have to buy the book.
