'Byron in Love' - the nobility, arrogance, and sheer theatre of Byron's life. Edna O'Brien focuses on the diverse and colourful women in Byron's life. Its narrative core is the triangular relationship between him, his wife and his half-sister that brought him timeless notoriety.

O'Brien's latest novel charts the quick and critical demise of relations between "the warring sons of warring sons" fighting over inherited land in the countryside of western Ireland.

A controversial novel that challenges the moral standing of the Roman Catholic church in Ireland from one of the country's most celebrated writers.

In una grande casa, immersa nel verde sterminato della campagna irlandese, vive Josie, una donna rimasta ormai sola con i ricordi di un matrimonio infelice. Fino a quando nella sua esistenza non entra McGreevy, un membro dell’Ira inseguito dalla polizia e dall’esercito, che in cerca di un rifugio irrompe tra le mura del suo isolamento. Nell’oscurità e nel silenzio di quella casa, da cui non possono uscire, lentamente si avvicinano: lei vede in lui il figlio che non ha mai avuto, lui le fa comprendere il dramma del loro popolo. Con una scrittura potente e piena di grazia Edna O’Brien ci mostra due solitudini distanti, che si specchiano l’una nell’altra e si riconoscono, ma alle quali il destino tragico della storia non lascerà scampo.

Twelve stories deal with love, incest, passion, aging, death, and loneliness

Edna O'Brien's classic novel NIGHT takes us through one long, sleepless night with Mary Hooligan. From the center of her bed, "a four poster no less," Mary recalls her fertile past, from her childhood in the Irish countryside to the love affairs she has confronted since leaving for English shores. Wistful, wanton, this erotic reverie shows O'Brien to be one of the foremost heirs to modernism. "Very few writers use language as richly and sensuously . . . There are passages here worthy of Joyce" (Library Journal).

Once Kate and Baba had great hopes of married bliss; now both women are disillusioned and compensating with flirtations and affairs. But, what to a man costs very little, to a woman can be very costly indeed.
