You can read each book in the Agnes Browne series in a day - and you should. "The Chisellers" is the second book in the series.
My expectations were pretty high after I'd finished "The Mammy" and I wasn't disappointed. Perhaps there was not as much humor in this book, and while I missed that, it didn't stop me from enjoying the story. I love the dialect, I adore Agnes, and her children are a riot.
They feel like the neighbors next door. If my neighbors were Irish. And if we lived in a Dublin tenement. In the 70's. Which we don't. Or didn't. But still.
One thing was a little strange, though. The description led me to believe that the story would be all about the Brownes' forced move to a new home. Not so much. True, the move happens, but it's pretty much a non-event. Not that it matters, really. It was just odd.
I have the final book in the trilogy to read today. The title is THE GRANNY.
