My grandfather of 80 yrs was born and raised in Ireland. He had a rough Catholic childhood full of poverty and loss. I chose to read Angela’s Ashes because the author, Frank McCourt, went through parallel hardships and I wanted to learn more about my heritage. This summer I went to Ireland and even visited my grandfather’s tiny hometown, so i got to experience the setting of my book as I read it.
