Synopsis:

When Frank McCourt penned Angela’s Ashes, the first volume of his memoirs, he was an obscure creative-writing teacher. The best-selling book tells the grim story of his impoverished childhood in Ireland — a time of deprivation spent alongside starving siblings, a long-suffering mother and an alcoholic father. Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves) shines in the pivotal role of Angela.
