Description

Meet the young Agnes Browne, mother of the famous Mrs. Brown's Boys from the daily radio soap. Read about her joys and sorrows in this trilogy crammed with hilarious incidents, glorious characters, and a passion for life. Agnes Browne is a formidable woman. By day she sells fruit and vegetables from a stall in Dublin's bustling Moore Street. By night, she is wife to Redser Browne and mammy, nurse, teacher and psychiatrist to her unruly brood of seven children. Then Redser dies. How Agnes copes with widowhood, with the help of her best pal Marion, an unquenchable sense of humour and the attentions of the amorous Pierre, makes this a memorable and moving account of one woman's life and of inner-city Dublin in the late '60s. These books feature pitch-perfect dialogue, lightning wit, and a host of colourful characters. Earthy and exuberant, these novels brilliantly capture the brash energy and cheerful irreverence of working class Irish life.
