Description: The Country Girls now a BBC Radio 4 Adaptation. Edna O' Brien's first novel The Country Girls and its sequels The Lonely Girl and Girls in their Married Bliss changed the temperature of Irish literature in the 1960s. The characters of Kate Brady and her friend Baba Brennan have inspired generation after generation of readers and writers, as we see them struggling against the confines of a rural Irish convent school; revelling in the bright lights of Dublin; and weathering the unexpected challenges of married life in London. The passion, artistry, and courage of Edna O' Brien's vision in these novels - tender portraits of innocence and youth, love and passion, dreams and reality - resonate into the twenty-first century, and are illuminated by Eimear Mc Bride's new foreword.

Review: The Country Girls Trilogy written between 1960 - 1964, tells the story of two girls against a backdrop of 1950s Ireland. There are a number of characters, such as Mr Gentleman and Joanna, who are created so perfectly that you feel you know them. Edna O’Brien’s prose is lyrical and her narration bounces along in an enchanting way. I could see several similarities with Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet, in particular in the creation of the main female characters themselves and their up and down relationship, and the male repression they endure. The first two books in the trilogy are stronger and I would give each 3.5 and the last one 2.
