Angela's Ashes Part 1 - The Tour

[@raymondwilson293]

it's my favorite book... thanku for doing this ❤️🙏 loved Tis and Teacher Man almost as much. RIP Mr McCourt.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Angela’s Ashes is my most favorite book ever.

[@catalinath]

so do mine!

[@hooleyqueen]

People, do not forget there are 2 sequels. "Tis" picks up where "Angela's Ashes" ends. Then there is "Teacher Man" going into more detail on his 30 yr. teaching career. Frank passed away a number of years old. He was in his 80s You are missed, Frank. You brought so much to all of us who read your stories. Tears and laughter, you gave to us.

[@1968Daff]

As a single mom, I'd have to win the lottery to visit Ireland. I surely would if I did. And take this tour. I have read Angela's Ashes many times. Frank was an amazing story teller. "for the comfort that's in it" will forever be his term. Rip Frank. Xoxo

[@Neelloc1973]

What a film, I loved, laughed and cried. Now there's not to many people can say they helped others achieve that in their life. May you rest in peace Frank. God knows you deserve it x

[@bermurf44]

Thanx for this...my mother (a comtempory of Franks) was born and raised in the lanes, and also went to Leamys School. I spent many an afternoon as a child, listening to her many stories of life there....

I went to Limerick in 1999. Got to see the homestead of the McCourts. I had Just finished reading the book a few weeks before my trip. So excited to visit Ireland .Hope i can visit soon.

[@cookieinnadress9709]

I've been there in 2002. Loved it. ❤️ I do remember that tour and the exhibition. My favorite book 📙 of all time.

[@8386charlie]

I did the tour when I visited limerick. I remember Mick. He was a great guy and knew so many stories about Frank and his brothers 😊 such an amazing book.

[@dishonorme]

best book ever.....thank you!

[@buckypreseau7349]

angela's opened my eyes to an amazing culture and history. his style or writing stood on iys own and i will always cherrish the books he gifted us before he regrettably had to pass on.

[@dualisima]

Always in my heart Frank McCourt ❤

[@hannahalexandra1419]

Frank McCourt’s writing while beautiful and sentimental, was also accessible; Anyone from any place could access his yearning, his loss and ultimately his achievements. And what better a gift to give?

[@mikemancuso2526]

9:38 Actually, Frank McCourt was almost 5 years old when he came to Limerick.

[@claireemily1983]

I’ve always had a special connection with this film, so much so that when I had hypnosis for reincarnation this film came up. I don’t believe in remembering reincarnation but I’ve had an obsession with Ireland since a child. I believe frank reminded me of my own childhood as I’m unable to articulate it in the same way

[@109wanga]

I am reading this book, almost done. What a story!!! I thought it was fiction to start with because how can all that happen to real people?!!!

[@michaelmoll3031]

I went to a movie rental shop when I was in the Army in Germany and asked the lady whats a good movie she said "Sweetie you have to watch Angela's Ashes", great movie couldnt even stop it to go pee, I held it along time.

[@claireemily1983]

It’s heart breaking

[@tommyhassan3545]

One of my favourite films

[@lisabullock7461]

RIP Mr. MCCOURT ✝️💜🙏

[@DannyCFC]

Great video tribute to a great book. My great-grandad was from Limerick, I hope to head there next year if I can find where they lived. You have to love Ireland - even in misery we find things to celebrate and remember with a rare sense of poetry no matter how bad things are.

[@JrockLoverYuu]

rest in peace Mr. McCourt!

[@ingefranz2013]

Thanks ❤

[@tonyavan1379]

I just love his books. Can somewhat identify with the poverty during Ww2 in Holland,

[@lisabullock7461]

Went to Limerick September 2028, beautiful city now.....

[@bigkev2084]

my mothers father's mother's family all came from County Cork Ireland,their last name was Foley

[@annetteacorn9802]

I'm thrilled to find this as I've been a Hugh fan of the book as well as the movie

[@lisabullock7461]

I love to here it"in his own words" Smile xoxo

[@rosewebb6308]

IVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF READING ALL 3 McCOURT BOOKS.ANGELA's ASHES IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW BOOKS MY DAUGHTER AGREED TO READ. SHE HAS KEPT A COPY IN HER CAR AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

[@rainydaymoonmaid]

Love the McCourts and all the books and plays and this tour. I want to point out that it wasn't Frank who was in the American Airforce, it was I believe Malachy. Frank was joined the American Army. I just re-read so my mind is fresh. Thank you for the tour!

[@hayleyallsop5787]

The story is actually based on my family on my nans side it was her mother etc🥰 x

[@rosewebb6308]

ENJOYED THE LIMERICK TOUR. MY DAUGHTER HAS ANGELAS ASHES IN HER CAR...ONE OF THE FEW BOOKS SHES AGREED TO READ!! tTHANKS FRANK

[@marcoburattin3999]

How am I going to find Mick O Donnell?? I would like to know all you can possibly know about McCourt's Limerick.

[@AirglamGuru]

Actually the "fart anecdote" is inaccurate: the doctor did not lean over to take Frank's pulse, but was dozing at Frank's bedside when he farted. I literally just read it, that's how I remember...

[@nilbarman234]

My best book angelas ashes

[@kathyoleary]

I have been told that one of my relatives was mentioned in Angela's Ashes. Carmody.

[@sizableone1]

Irish life was made much easier by those choosing to work in Great Britain, especially those hard working men who found work in Liverpool. Many of whom became very successful.

[@Gypseygirls]

Read the book...too sweet .

[@DENAANN1000]

Living proof that anything is possible.

[@happyquails]

Be sure to always let us have a look as you comment on the things that you are loking at!

[@blubblub777]

I feel so sorry for all this people. It was hard time. But those people had good memories as well. This conflict reminds me of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. (Some people said “I am sick of this f*cking b*stards” went to America and write a book about horrible life)

[@nilbarman234]

Nice

[@RM-ti8nf]

So was he taken home drunk and put to bed? Or did he get SENT home, fight with his mother, and go and live with his uncle?

[@pikeeee]

First Comment! =D

[@bjk08880]

Being an American I can say this . There is absolutely nothing wore then an American trying to put on an Irish Brouge or ue Irish expresions. Having Parents both from Ireland I can asure you that in my home it was never done. And if anyone tried we would be quickly corrected by our parents. It just sound fake and stupid .

[@hooleyqueen]

There is absolutely nothing fake about Frank McCourt, and before you begin criticizing the brilliant man he was, try learning to spell. He has written a Masterpiece which has been read by millions of people all over the world and won the highly regarded, prestigious Pulitzer Prize for literature. You cannot even write a proper sentence.
