Poignant and funny tale about the Browne family of Dublin in the mid-60s. Left a widow with six children, Agnes Browne carries on with grit and humor and love. The ending is a bit smarmy, but O'Carroll is forgiven on the basis of the rest of the book.
This is part of the "Agnes Browne" series. Interestingly enough, I read the second book, "The Chisellers" several years ago and didn't like it at all. Either my tastes have changed, or O'Carroll shot his wad with the first entry.
