Agnes Browne gives strength and hope to modern day women through her unfailing spirit and determination to conquer odds and see the love and humor in life. As an Irish-American, I can feel, see, and smell the city of Dublin in OCarrolls descriptions. This book makes the reader pause and consider the universal truths about life-live it to the fullest, laugh whenever possible, love without condition, NEVER lose hope. Ill definitely read and share this one again and again.
If I could rate this book higher than a five, I would. I have never enoyed a book as much as Agnes Brown. I highly recommend it for a good laugh and a very endearing story. I also read the rest of the books Brendon OCarroll wrote. I bought my books and when I finished with them, loan them to my friends to read. I wish he would write more, I look forward to reading them. Excellent is the word for Brendon OCarrolls writtings. Thank you.
What a wonderful book this was. Brendan OCarroll really has a way with words! Hell have you laughing and crying all at the same time! You will fall in love with Agnes Browne, a single mother and a dear friend. Any child would be so lucky to have a Mammy such as Agnes and I think we all could use a friend like her. If for nothing else, shes have you laughing so hard you about fall outta your chair! This book was a really quick read. Partly due to the fact that its a short book and also because its so enjoyable to read. I would classify this as a light read. So, if youre looking for something light and fun ~ your answer is within this book!
