THE RUNAWAY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND AUDIE AWARD WINNER "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." So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank's mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Perhaps it is a story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness. Imbued with Frank McCourt's astounding humor and compassion -- and movingly read in his own voice -- Angela's Ashes is a glorious audiobook that bears all the marks of a classic.

评分正在读《安吉拉的灰烬》这本书。它使我想起童年,那是文革混乱不堪的年代,苦难就像挣不脱的绳索紧紧牵扯着我们全家。与佛兰克一样的是,苦难中的我们也寻找到了很多欢乐。 和佛兰克一样,我也正在写那个年代的故事,但愿能早日写完。
评分在书架上翻到一本《安吉拉的骨灰》,随着搬家走了N个房间,蒙尘十年,终于有心情来读啦。 这是一本曾获普利策奖的畅销书,如今有着百年以上历史的普利策公司已经被收购,披着大奖光芒的出版物依然熠熠生辉。 正如我们所知,即便是富家出身,人们在写自传的时候也喜欢把自己打...
