It won’t be a fair comparison if I were to put Angela Ashes and Derry Girl next to each other. One is a book and the other is a series.
But I’ve never read a book that is so sad but they way Frank Mc Court write it it made me laugh. While Derry Girl is actually a sitcom, it meant to be funny but the situation back then in Northen Ireland is not as ‘funny’. Though it was almost the end of The Troubles period in Derry watching the girls navigate their daily life and listening to their banter made me laugh. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
Can’t wait for the third season. For now, I might just watch the series again.
