Agnes Browne is a widow of only a few hours when she goes to the Social Welfare Office. Living in James Larkin Flats, with her husband's legacy - seven little Brownes - to support on the income from her Moore Street stall, she can't afford to miss a day's pension. Life is like that for Agnes and her best pal Marion. But they still have time for a laugh and a pint, and Agnes even has a dream - that one day she will dance with Cliff Richard. A book of hilarious incidents, glorious characters, and a passion for life, The Mammy is written with a sure touch and great ear for dialogue. It was adapted for the cinema as Agnes Browne, a film directed by and starring Anjelica Huston in the lead role.
