Hi everyone,
Just wondering if you can help with a Non-Fiction /
Fiction query.
I'm looking for read-alikes for Franck McCourts
"Angelas Ashes" including other Non-Fiction titles and
maybe Fiction authors who write with a similar "Irish"
theme.
Many thanks in advance (I hope!).

I love the series by Brendan O'Carroll that begins with "The Mammy". The books are short, humorous, and give a picture of a family struggling to make it in Dublin. The next two books are "The Chisellers" and "The Granny".

Don't forget Frank McCourt's sequel to Angela's Ashes, entitled 'Tis.

How about Alice Taylor, both fiction and none fiction. A look at irish
village life as opposed to Frank McCourt's gritty cities.

Though I haven't read it yet, one writer mentioned Angela's Ashes in his
review of the new-
The Mountain of the Women : Memoirs of an Irish Troubadour by Liam
Clancy.
