The Chisellers

By Brendan O'Carroll

A continuation of the story of Agnes Browne and her family, begun in The Mammy. 
The two oldest children are more of a focus in this story than in the first. The oldest son, Mark, is doing quite well in his job at the furniture factory. But his younger brother, Frankie, has fallen in with a gang of skinheads and eventually steals his mother's money she won playing bingo and runs away to London.
Agnes and the kids have a new home, as the place where they were living is slated to be torn down. So even though problems still have to be dealt with, overall, things seem to be getting better for Agnes and her brood.

This was a pretty good read, a lovely story of a son who stands by his mother and of a son who does the exact opposite and comes to his just desserts.
