What was tough young Dublin widow Agnes Browne doing before she starred in her own trilogy by Irish comedian O'Carroll?
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Book Description

In The Mammy, star Irish comedian Brendan O'Carroll introduced fans to the earthy and exuberant Agnes Browne, a fiesty young widow struggling to raise an unruly, high-spirited brood in The Jarro, the gritty tenement heart of 1960s Dublin. Over the course of two subsequent novels, The Chisellers and The Granny, fans accompanied her through all her children's escapades and the other adversities that challenged her starch, street smarts, and wit. Soon there was a movie, Agnes Browne. But hungry fans wanted more.

Now, in The Young Wan, they have Agnes as even her children never saw her-a girl, a "young wan," growing up in the 1940s. The shy child Agnes Reddin and Marion Delany, destined to be her lifelong best friend, together survive the indignities and demands of schoolteacher nuns, unwelcome siblings, first jobs, first dances, and first encounters with the opposite sex. Agnes learns the street market trade from a tough ex-con and is about to marry the good-for-nothing charmer Redser Browne. But in a world where everyone knows everyone else's business, it's not only her mother-with a past of her own to recount-who fears Agnes will be turned away at the altar if she persists in wearing white. For within Agnes there buds already the first of the family to whom she'll become the ur-Irish mother.

Filled with O'Carroll's trademark wicked wit and loving, larger-than-life characters, The Young Wan reveals the inner workings of one family and one woman who cheerfully and irreverently defy everything life throws at them.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Humorous, touching real-life story, Fév 11 2005
Par Kay Carbe (Newmarket, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I came upon this book by accident and I enjoyed it so much I am buying the other 3. This precedes the trilogy and I was lucky enough to read this first to get the story as it goes along.
It was full of humour and down to earth stories of what it really was like in Ireland "back in them days".
I lent this book to a friend who was very wary in case it was depressing. She said it was the best book she has read in a long while. She wants to borrow the other books as I buy them!
Would recommend this book to anyone looking for an enjoyable read. Different from the usual Irish stories, this one is unputdownable!!

4.0étoiles sur 5 From Bargain Bin to Bookshelf, Nov. 5 2004
Par Un client
I have just finished reading this delightful book after rescuing it from the Bargain bin at my local Indigo.I found it a wonderful story that transported me to Dublin and made me feel as if I were living the story,both the good and the bad along side Agnes and Marion. I enjoyed it so much I have just added the trilogy to the top of my Christmas list.I highly recommend this book.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Agnes and her family will win your heart, Mai 4 2004
This reads like a long short story. The language in parts surprised me at first but then it became just part of the story. In this novel, the reader meets Agnes' parents...how they met, how they married, how they fell in love. They have two children: Agnes and Dolly. Tragedy strikes and more hardships arise. Agnes has to grow up quicker than her age as she is faced with tough life situations.

Likeable characters and certainly does make the reader interested in the other books in this series.
