Some of the dialogue got on my nerves (a bit too much tis, wee and och). It also got a bit repetitive and I found very little to be redeeming about it. I have no interest in reading anymore of his books though; this was enough. A coming of age, poverty, set in Ireland story of a young man. Book bullet from my daughter. What I remember is the pig head for Christmas. What a tear-jerker! And it changed my life in a drastic way. Lyrical and haunting. McCourt's memoir depicts Irish poverty as a badge of honor.
A spunky, bittersweet memoir. Frank McCourt waited more than four decades to tell the story of his childhood, and it's been well worth the wait. With ''Angela's Ashes,'' he has [written] a book that redeems the pain of his early years with wit and compassion and grace. He has written a book that stands with ''The Liars Club'' by Mary Karr and Andre Aciman's ''Out of Egypt'' as a classic modern memoir. For the most part, [McCourt's] style is that of an Irish-American raconteur, honorably voluble and engaging. He is aware of his charm but doesn't disgracefully linger upon it. Induced by potent circumstances, he has told his story, and memorable it is. This memoir is an instant classic of the genre -- all the more remarkable for being the 66-year-old McCourt's first book.

En irsk katolsk barndom med elskelige, men håbløst fattige forældre i Limerick giver forfatterens minder et skær af elendighed. Men midt i slummen overlever de stærke på livskraft, humor og sammenhold. No library descriptions found. |
