I really enjoyed this book with a wonderful lead character, Agness Browne, a spunky Dublin widow with seven kids who takes on an amorous owner of a pizza parlour, her daughter's witchy teacher, Sister Magdalen, and her best friends medical problems while running her produce stand. She's wonderful!
From the back of the book;
"Reads like Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes on Prozac...jaunty...
charming. It's refreshing to enter O'Carroll's fun-loving
working-class Dublin world."

I highly reccomend this.
