Description
Edna O'Brien writes gritty but beautifully lyrical windows into the human soul, showing the agony and the joy unstintingly. Both her fiction -- erotic, historical, romantic, and modern -- and her biographies and memoirs are, at heart, psychological. She is Irish by birth, although she has also lived in London, and her love affair with Ireland informs much of her writing in setting, plot, and characters. She is also known as one of the great writers of the 20th century female experience; relating women's lives with unflinching honesty and truth. Start with Saints and Sinners (Fiction) and Country Girl (Nonfiction)
