The last 'date' Agnes Browne had been on was when Redser had taken her to the dog-racing in Shelbourne Park. It had cost her a fortune. As soon as Redser lost all his money -- and that only took four races -- he began to 'borrow' hers. By the end of the night they were both penniless and had to walk home. That was the night Redser proposed.
Meet Agnes, a Moore Street fruit seller, as she copes with bringing up her seven unruly children in Dublin's North Inner City. Follow her joys and heartbreaks as she deals with sudden widowhood, motherhood and eventually the challenges of grandchildren and old age.
A trio of lively, comic books, brimming with the raw humour and great characters of the streets of Dublin, The Mammy, The Chisellers and The Granny are a funny and moving account of one woman's life in a Dublin that is rapidly disappearing.
These three books, normal price €29.97, can be yours for only €20.
