Edna O'Brien was born on December 15, 1930 in Tuamgraney, Co. Clare in the Republic of Ireland. She is an author of fiction, plays and short stories who has won great acclaim throughout her writing career. Edna O'Brien was criticised for her outspoken views on Irish society, which is a theme of all her writing.
Book Review:Nell was once one of those country girls with green eyes now she is trapped in London, in mortal enmity with her husband, sustained only by her two small sons. Edna O`Brien records the crises of Nell`s motherhood, her vital reserves of love and her innocence within.

Book Review:Edna O`Brien reflects the variety and fertility of love and the Irish in her selection of poems, letters, plays and story excerpts. J M Synge, Kitty O`Shea, Sean O`Faolain, Samuel Beckett, James Stephens and the schoolgirl combine with others to make up a magical elixir for the reader to sup.
