Search - Agnes Browne

A delightful, humorous story about a mother of seven coping with widowhood.

Seven kids, one dead husband, and not a chance that This Dublin woman will be defeated. An extremely satisfying read.

This is the same book as "The Mammy" it has just been retitled after the movie came out. It's not part of the continuing series as I thought. But the book is so good you can never have enough extras to pass on to friends... just don't expect it to be a different book. After reading the book I got the movie and it wasn't nearly half as good as the book! I'd also recommend reading all three books in the series each one is as great as the other! (The Mammy [Agnes Browne], The Chisellers, and The Granny) Now a fourth book which is about the "young" Agnes Browne - The Young Wan.

Be aware that this is the same book as Mammy only under a different name.

I have read the series three times. I love the story. It is funny and light hearted. You will laugh one moment and cry the next. I could only wish I was as strong as Agnes. They are all both rainy day and sunny day books! I love them.
