FROM OUR EDITORS
The third and final installment of Irish comic Brendan O'Carroll's celebrated Agnes Browne trilogy finds Agnes outside the maternity ward of Dublin's Rotunda Hospital, where she has just become a "granny" and is feeling old. But with a daughter trapped in a failing marriage, a homesick son in London, another son headed for prison, and a new grandchild on the way, the Browne clan needs its mammy more than ever. And Agnes is more than up to the challenge -- until she's faced with a challenge of her own. Also included in the trilogy are The Mammy -- which has also been published as Agnes Browne, to coincide with the release of the film by the same name -- and The Chisellers.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Who would have believed it? Only yesterday they were children themselves. Now they're having "chisellers' of their own, and for the first time in her life, Agnes Browne is feeling old. But with a daughter stuck in an unhappy marriage, a homesick son in London, another son headed for prison, and another grandchild on the way, it seems that the Browne clan needs their mammy more than ever. And Agnes is more than up for the challenge - until she's faced with a crisis of her own.

A present from my Holiday Exchange partner. Thanks Cheesy :D
I picked this up from the book buffet at the 2007 BC Convention in Charleston, SC. I'm into the Irish thing these days, since I now have my Irish citizenship and passport.
I didn't realize it was the third book of a trilogy. Will I read this first? Or will I find and read book one, "The Mammy"? Stay tuned for answers to these and other burning questions!
Thanks for sending this down south, SciFisstrs.

RELEASE NOTES:
I'm bringing this to our Meet-Up tonight at 7pm.
I thought I'd hold onto it until I read the first two books in this series, but given my books-to-be-read queue, that'd be in another ten years. So, fly, little book, fly and be free!
