Always remember my mother’s well-thumbed copy of ‘Country Girls’ in the 60s. A part of my childhood ever before I learned to read. The passing of an icon.
We are devastated to hear of the passing of Edna O'Brien. A true towering force of Irish literature – fearlessly committed to her art and an endless inspiration to us all.
