| One of the best books I've ever read. "Angela's Ashes" won the Pulitzer's in 1997, and was later made into a movie by the same name. It is powerfully written, a very realistic depiction of growing up in extreme poverty during 1930s and 1940s, in Ireland and New York. What is amazing to me is that throughout the whole book one learns about all the hardship, tragedies and struggle, but never get the feeling of bitterness or despair. Instead as I follow the story I am touched and captivated by a sense of persistence, hope, and humor. Found this clip on YouTube, with a summary of the book and scenes from the movie: Music post by Mosical -- thanks! |  |
Sounds like an interesting book/movie. I have not read the book or watched the movie. I jsut listened to the file music and like it. Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Angela's Ashes is the soundtrack, on the Sony Classical label, of the 1999 film Angela's Ashes starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle. The original score was composed by John Williams. The album was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score (where it lost to the score of Le violon rouge), and for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score (where it lost to the score of La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano).
