The BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Edna O Brien s The Country Girls trilogy begins in August 2019.

Edna O Brien writes the most beautiful, aching stories of any writer, anywhere. Alice Munro

Spanning five decades of writing, and winning the Frank O Connor International Short Story Award, The Love Object collects the most luminous stories by Edna O Brien that have bewitched generation after generation. Here you will find tales of families, feuds, enchantment, despair, and the manifold bonds of love. There are stories about the tension between country and city life, the instinct towards escape and nostalgia for home; always crafted in shimmering prose.

Her stunning new novel Girl will be published by Faber in September 2019, available to pre-order now.

Edna O Brien has written more than twenty works of fiction. She is the recipient of many awards, including the Irish PEN Lifetime Achievement Award, the American National Arts Gold Medal, the Frank O Connor Prize, the PEN/Nabokov Award For Achievement in International Literature, and the David Cohen Prize for Literature. In 2021, Edna O Brien was awarded the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. She is currently writing a play, Joyce s Women, for the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, to mark the centenary of the publication of Ulysses. Born and raised in the west of Ireland, she has lived in London for many years.
