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. A new role for Agnes Browne - and more challenges for the family that refuses to quit! Now thirteen years happily widowed, Agnes enters the 1980s with a French lover and six children, five of them in their twenties. As they begin to make their own lives, the young Brownes bring joy and heartache to their mother: marriage and grandchildren, prison, literary success, broken relationships and emigration. Then the family begins to fragment and it seems that not even their mother's iron will bring them back together again. But you can never write off Agnes Browne! 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.
