Angela's Ashes' a charming work

With the recent release of the movie Angela's Ashes, author Frank McCourt has been getting quite a lot of exposure. Talk programs like the Rosie O'Donnell Show have been booking him left and right. And those starring in the film adaptation of this autobiographical work have not escaped the cameras either. Emily Watson, the actress with a starring role in the film, has been on numerous programs to discuss her powerful portrayal of Angela, McCourt's mother. But before this soon-to-be blockbuster hit and this media frenzy, there was only a poignant recounting of one family's struggle to make ends meet.
