I loved this book! It's the story of a poor neighborhood in Ireland and the strong women who make life work for their children and their neighbors. I'm going to put all Brendan O'Carroll's other books on my wish list! And I'm not reposting this book because I'm framing the cover - the picture - the looks on the faces of the Mammy and the little boy are perfect!

A struggling mother recently made a widow goes about everyday life trying to raise her 7 children. While she encounters so much tragedy, she is tough, funny, and endearing. Don't be surprised if you laugh, despite the sadness.

What can I say except marvelous. Very fast read because I couldn't put it down.

Perhaps it's because I'm Irish, but this book entertained me from page one. I loved reading of Mammy and her boys. All of Brendan O'Carroll's books in this series are well worth the time to read them.

I loved this book. It's one of the funniest I've read in a while and I can't wait to read The Chisellers, and The Granny. Love the Irish humor and love the way O'Carroll writes. It reminds me a little of Angela's Ashes with the wit, which rises above the poverty through which the family struggles. I highly recommend this one. :)
