Country Girl: A Memoir

Edna O'Brien

Born in County Clare in 1930, in a town with no library and 27 pubs, O'Brien discovered literature in her twenties while working as a pharmacy's assistant in Dublin. Her illicit affair with a married man drove her out of Ireland and her controversial first novel, The Country Girls, published in 1960, cemented both her exile and her success. Her house in swinging London became a magnet for Hollywood giants, pop stars and literary titans. Now in her eighties, O'Brien gives her readers insight into a life devoted to writing and reading.
