Bestseller
The first volume in Edna O'Brien's classic Country Girls Trilogy.
It is the early 1960s in a country village in Ireland. Caithleen Brady and her attractive friend Baba are on the verge of womanhood and dreaming of spreading their wings in a wider world; of discovering love and luxury and liquor and above all, fun.
With bawdy innocence, shrewd for all their inexperience, the girls romp their way through convent school to the bright lights of Dublin – where Caithleen finds that suave, idealised lovers rarely survive the real world.
'A fine study of primitive passions, of marginal lives frozen in time ... Edna remains the undisputed literary mistress of her territory.'
The Sunday Express
'She is one of our bravest and best novelists.'
The Irish Times
'Ireland's greatest female writer ... moving, dark and engrossing.'
Tatler
