A Working Mother (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781846977015)

A Working Mother is a wildly entertaining cautionary tale: while Betty's husband, Adam, broods and drinks (to be matched at times by Betty, just to be sociable) she flirts with their best friend Brendan and tries to avoid the roving hands of her new employer. They're all driving Betty crazy.

A sharp, darkly humorous novella that explores the life of a working-class woman caught in a destructive relationship and an unforgiving society. Agnes Owen's sharp wit, humour and lean prose is beautifully displayed in this tragi-comedy.

Published to celebrate Agnes Owens' centenary year in 2026.
