Book description
The final book in the Agnes Browne trilogy. At forty-seven years of
age Agnes, now thirteen years happily widowed, enters the 1980s with a
fruit stall in Moore Street, a French lover and six children, five of
them in their twenties. Becoming a grandmother is a terrible shock to
her system, especially as Agnes suffers every one of her
daughter-in-law's labour pains! And as the family expands so do the
problems - one son's inevitable brush with the law, the heartbreak of
emigration. But Agnes Browne is nothing if not a fighter, and she
squares her shoulders, offers up a quick one to her departed pal,
Marion, and sets about getting things back on an even keel - or as
even as things ever get in the Brown household! The same quick-fire
dialogue, hilarious humour and great characterisation as in Brendan's
bestselling THE MAMMY, filmed as AGNES BROWNE by Angelica Huston, and
the BAFTA-nominated TV series Mrs Browne's Boys.
