This review is from: Angela's Ashes: A Memoir of a Childhood: AND 'Tis (Hardcover)

I borrowed a copy of this book from my sister and just had to buy the collection for myself. Have also bought 2 more sets to give as gifts. Truly amazing story told with so much innocence. You will appreciate everything you have been blessed with so much more when you get done with this book. Absolutely AMAZING!!!
