Overview

It is the early 1960s in a country village in Ireland. Caithleen Brady and her attractive friend Baba are on the verge of womanhood and dreaming of spreading their wings in a wider world; of discovering love and luxury and liquor and above all, fun. With bawdy innocence, shrewd for all their inexperience, the girls romp their way through convent school to the bright lights of Dublin - where Caithleen finds that suave, idealised lovers rarely survive the real world.

Reviews

'A fine study of primitive passions, of marginal lives frozen in time ... Edna remains the undisputed literary mistress of her territory.' -- The Sunday Express 'She is one of our bravest and best novelists.' -- The Irish Times 'Ireland's greatest female writer ... moving, dark and engrossing.' -- Tatler


Author Information

Edna O'Brien (born 15 December 1930) is an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short story writer. She is considered the 'doyenne' of Irish literature. Philip Roth considers her 'the most gifted woman now writing in English', while former President of Ireland Mary Robinson regards her as 'one of the great creative writers of her generation.' O'Brien's works often revolve around the inner feelings of women, and their problems in relating to men, and to society as a whole. Her first novel, The Country Girls, is often credited with breaking silence on sexual matters and social issues during a repressive period in Ireland following World War II. The book was banned, burned and denounced from the pulpit, and O'Brien left Ireland behind. Born 1930, Edna O'Brien is an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short story writer.
