The Mammy is the first book in Brendan O’Carroll’s famous ‘Mrs Browne’ trilogy, the inspiration for the hugely successful TV series, Mrs Brown’s Boys. Agnes Browne is a formidable woman. By day she sells fruit and vegetables from a stall in Dublin’s bustling Moore Street. By night, she is wife to Redser Browne and mammy, nurse, teacher and psychiatrist to her unruly brood of seven children. Then Redser dies. How Agnes copes with widowhood, with the help of her best pal Marion, an unquenchable sense of humour and the attentions of the amorous Pierre, makes this a memorable and moving account of one woman’s life and of inner-city Dublin in the late ‘60s.
