Edna O'Brien's first novel The Country Girls and its sequels The
Lonely Girl and Girls in their Married Bliss changed the
temperature of Irish literature in the 1960s. The characters of
Kate Brady and her friend Baba Brennan have inspired generation
after generation of readers and writers, as we see them struggling
against the confines of a rural Irish convent school; revelling in
the bright lights of Dublin; and weathering the unexpected
challenges of married life in London. The passion, artistry, and
courage of Edna O'Brien's vision in these novels - tender portraits
of innocence and youth, love and passion, dreams and reality -
resonate into the twenty-first century, and are illuminated by
Eimear McBride's new foreword.
