| Professional Reviews | New York Times: "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 used the storytelling gifts he inherited from his father to write a book that redeems the pain of his early years with wit and compassion and grace. He has written a book that stands...as a classic modern memoir." |

| Publisher's Note | "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." |
