Edna O'Brien
Edna O’Brien’s most personal and most powerful novel in print from Plume for the first time.
In a poignant, heart-felt exploration of one woman’s struggle to be true to herself yet hold on to the things dearest to her, award-winning author Edna O’Brien tracks the life of Nell Steadman, an innocent “country girl” desperate to gain experience in whatever manner possible. Escaping from her overbearing family into an equally stifling marriage, Nell must fight for her freedom and custody of her children.
