When I worked freelance post-production, I was asked to help on Alan Yentob's IMAGINE Edna O'Brien. Everyone who was interviewed to talk about her had something to say about her wit and her courage and her passion for living, and her parties.
I just loved her books. They fit in my pocket and went with me everywhere as a young woman leaving home on my own, and living away from home for the first time.
I have her books on my shelf and Country Girls, especially, brings back memories of rain on the windows of London busses. They made me feel so much braver.
Thank you, Edna O'Brien.
RIP
