Book Reviews of The Mammy
Book Review: "The Mammy" is a very touching, heart-warming story
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Mammy" is a very touching, heart-warming story. It's the second Irish novel I've read after Frank McCourt's books.
It's about a woman named Agnes Browne who has dead, alcoholic-abusive, husband and now struggling with 7 little children with no money left. Typical Irish family with many children, living in poverty, trying to survive day by day.
Still, the story flows eloquently and sweetly with great sense of humour. It made me laugh out loud as well as shed tears in my eyes. Agnes Browne is a very simple woman, has fighter spirit and full of courage. The story's also telling us a great friendship she has with her best friend, Marion. Battling hillarioulsy to get driving liscense and as the same time, being submissive in facing the cancer. I love the part where Marion always visits the church every morning and said, "God, it's me, Marion!"
I admire Agnes' soul that is gentle yet firm with her kids. Her heart is full of love which remains untouched when her husband was still alived. She also has dreams of meeting her favourite singer, Cliff Richard, to sing and dance with him.
The closing of the book is my best favourite part ever," dance, Agnes Browne, dance to the star!" And from above, she can hear her friend Marion, laughs."
Two thumbs up for Mr. O'Carroll.
