The Granny by Brendan O'Carroll

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.
