This is just an idea. I think that McCourt title the book Angela's Ashes for two reasons. One, she was always smoking when things went wrong. Her ashes are all of the problems she has smoked through. Two, she is always looking into the fireplace at the dead ashes and thinking. These are just ideas.

The book is titled "Angela's Ashes" because it refers to the ashes of Angela's hope and dreams, as well as the literal ashes of poverty and struggle that pervade the memoir. Angela's struggle to provide for her family in dire circumstances is a central theme throughout the book.
