At forty-seven years of age Agnes Browne, now thirteen years happily widowed, enters the 1980s with a fruit stall in Moore Street, a French lover and six children, five of them in their twenties. Becoming a grandmother is a terrible shock to her system, especially as Agnes suffers every one of her daughter-in-law's labour pains.
Set in 1940s Dublin, the story follows young Agnes Reddin as she navigates the challenges of working-class life. Alongside her best friend Marion Delany, Agnes faces the trials of Catholic school, the pressures of family life with numerous siblings, and the grind of factory work. Amidst these struggles, she finds moments of joy in the burgeoning rock-and-roll scene and the lively atmosphere of dance halls. Brendan O'Carroll captures the resilience and spirit of youth during a transformative era in Dublin's history.
