Agnes Browne, trentaquattro anni, bella, proletaria, simpatia irresistibile, ha un banco di frutta e verdura al mercato del Jarro, turbolento quartiere popolare di Dublino, sette figli come sette gocce di mercurio e un’autentica venerazione per Cliff Richard. Purtroppo ha anche un marito che lascia i suoi guadagni agli allibratori, per poi rifarsi con lei a suon di ceffoni. Ogni mattina Agnes esce di casa alle cinque per incontrare l’amica Marion e iniziare insieme la giornata, in allegria, e il venerdì si gioca a bingo, per poi finire al pub di fronte a una pinta di birra e a un bicchiere di sidro. Non una gran vita, a parte le risate con Marion e le altre, al mercato. Finché, un bel giorno, Rosso Browne muore, lei rimane sola e comincia a godersi davvero l’esistenza. È l’inizio di un carosello di vicende esilaranti, in coppia con Marion, autentico genio comico, e alle prese con i figli che le propinano dilemmi adolescenziali, obbligandola a improvvisarsi consigliera (con grande spasso dei pargoli) o a vestire i panni dell’angelo vendicatore. Insomma, senza quel treppiede del marito attorno, la nostra Agnes pare tornata la ragazza dublinese che è stata – tanto che non manca uno spasimante, un affascinante bell’imbusto francese ignaro degli equivoci della (e sulla) lingua. Intanto la vita continua, nella Dublino di fine anni settanta, tra gioie e dolori, un colpo basso della sorte e un girotondo di risate con Marion, i figli che crescono e, in testa, un sogno che sembra irrealizzabile. Libro di freschezza strepitosa, soprattutto nell’invenzione dei dialoghi, Agnes Browne mamma non si fa intimidire dalla letteratura: prende senza esitazioni le parti del “volgare”. Una volgarità rivendicata con garbo, sempre venata di tenerezza e incline alla battuta dissacrante, che in tempi di letteratura addomesticata, esercita un fascino irresistibile sul lettore.

Il pub di Foley, al centro di Dublino, è famoso per molte cose, ma per i Browne soprattutto per una: è la sede tradizionale da ventisette anni a questa parte di tutti i loro festeggiamenti. Ora perciò che l’ultimo dei Browne, Aaron, il figlio di Mark, ha deciso di venire al mondo, Agnes e i suoi pargoli si sono dati appuntamento da Foley subito dopo il battesimo. Mr Foley ha preparato tramezzini di salsicce e quadratini di formaggio infilzati da stuzzicadenti. Tutti indossano il loro abito migliore e, dopo gli iniziali convenevoli, la serata è subito decollata. Agnes si è messa a cantare The Wonder of You e i vecchi conoscenti del Jarro, il quartiere dove i Browne hanno trascorso l’infanzia, si stanno divertendo come matti. Al bancone del bar Agnes, il bicchiere in mano, fa scorrere lo sguardo attraverso la sala. Sono tutti lì, i suoi piccoli orfani, tutti adulti ormai. La sua nidiata al completo, tranne il povero Frankie, il figlio derelitto e sfortunato. Mark si è sistemato, è sposato con Betty e ha un figlio meraviglioso; Rory e il suo amico Dino sono tra i più rinomati hair stylist della Wash & Blow; a Trevor manca solo un anno per completare il corso universitario di arte e diventare subito dopo un qualificato artista grafico; Simon è ora portantino-capo al St Patrick’s Hospital; Cathy è con il fidanzato Mick O’Leary e Dermot... Dermot è con Mary Carter, tossica e forse anche spacciatrice, ma ancora per poco, dato che Agnes ha deciso di porre fine alla tresca... Andrebbe tutto bene per Agnes se a Pierre non venisse in mente di sollevare il calice e di dire davanti agli ospiti del pub di Foley e alla gente del Jarro: «Alla bellissima Agnes Browne... Benvenuta, nonna!» Quando Mark l’ha chiamata con quella strana parola per la prima volta subito dopo il parto di Betty, Agnes ha sentito le spalle curvarsi e la spina dorsale piegarsi. Ha abbassato lo sguardo sul dorso della mano sinistra e lo ha visto raggrinzito, con la fede nuziale che pareva sprofondare nella carne dell’anulare. Cavolo, nonna a 47 anni dopo tredici anni di felice vedovanza trascorsi in compagnia di un amante francese e di impertinenti pargoli! C’è da restarci secca! Ma distruggere Agnes Browne è impossibile! Se ti chiami Agnes, sei sempre capace di tener testa ai colpi bassi della vita e di affrontare drammi, tragedie e commedie con lo spirito e l’ironia di una bella proletaria di Dublino! Terzo libro della serie di Agnes Browne, dopo Agnes Browne mamma e I marmocchi di Agnes, Agnes Browne nonna è un nuovo affascinante capitolo della vita di uno dei personaggi più irresistibili della narrativa irlandese contemporanea.

Now a major motion picture starring Anjelica Huston "Mammy" is what Irish children call their mothers and The Mammy is Agnes Browne—a widow struggling to raise seven children in a North Dublin neighborhood in the 1960s. Popular Irish comedian Brendan O'Carroll chronicles the comic misadventures of this large and lively family with raw humor and great affection. Forced to be mother, father, and referee to her battling clan, the ever-resourceful Agnes Browne occasionally finds a spare moment to trade gossip and quips with her best pal Marion Monks (alias "The Kaiser") and even finds herself pursued by the amorous Frenchman who runs the local pizza parlor. Like the novels of Roddy Doyle, The Mammy features pitch-perfect dialogue, lightning wit, and a host of colorful characters. Earthy and exuberant, the novel brilliantly captures the brash energy and cheerful irreverence of working-class Irish life.

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-winning TV series Mrs Brown's Boys.

The first book in the Agnes Browne trilogy Agnes Browne is a widow of only a few hours when she goes to the Social Welfare Office. Living in James Larkin Flats, with Redsers' legacy - seven little Brownes - to support on the income from her Moore Street stall, she can't afford to miss a day's pension. Life is like that for Agnes and her best pal Marion. But they still have time for a laugh and a jar, and Agnes even has a dream - that one day she will dance with Cliff Richard. The Mammy describes the life and times, the joys and sorrows of Agnes, mother of the famous Mrs. Browne's Boys from the daily radio soap. A book of hilarious incidents, glorious characters, and a passion for life, it is written with a sure touch and great ear for dialogue. 'Hilarious and irreverent. A must-read.' Gabriel Byrne
