The BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Edna O'Brien's The Country Girls
trilogy begins in August 2019. I thought of life's many bounties,
to have known the extremities of joy and sorrow, love, crossed love
and unrequited love, success and failure, fame and slaughter ...
Born in Ireland in 1930 and driven into exile after publication of
her controversial first novel, The Country Girls, Edna O'Brien is
now hailed as one of the most majestic writers of her era - and
Country Girl is her fabulous memoir. Born in rural Ireland, O'Brien
weaves the tale of her life from convent school to elopement,
divorce, single-motherhood, moving on to the wild parties of 1960s
bohemian in London, encounters with Hollywood giants, pop stars,
and literary titans, love and unrequited love, and glamorous trips
to America as a celebrity writer. Country Girl is a rich and heady
accounting of the events, people, emotions, and landscape that have
forged a legendary author. O'Brien recasts her life with the
imaginative alchemy of a poet, and the result is a memoir of
sparkling wisdom and honesty. Edna O'Brien's stunning new novel
Girl will be published by Faber in September 2019, available to
pre-order now.
