«Mammy» is the humour novel by Brendan O'Carroll, published in 2011 by The O'Brien Press in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Agnes Browne, a widow and mother of seven, supports her family in an Irish working-class environment: she runs a fruit stall at the market, argues with her friend Marion, and deals with her children's scrapes. Her dry humour and pragmatism turn daily hardships into a bittersweet comedy about family life.
First instalment of the Agnes Browne series. The work was originally published in 1994 under the title The Mammy.
Will appeal to readers of family comedy and to those familiar with the television series Mrs Brown's Boys, inspired by this work.
