Angela's Ashes
“The hopes of a mother. The dreams of a father. The fate of a child.”
An Irish Catholic family returns to 1930s Limerick after a child's death in America. The unemployed I.R.A. veteran father struggles with poverty, prejudice, and alcoholism as the family endures harsh slum conditions.
