Edna O'Brien

Edna O'Brien was an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, and short story writer who is one of the most important Irish writers of the twentieth century. Born in County Clare in 1930, she broke taboos with her frank portrayal of female sexuality and was a towering figure in Irish literature. Byron In Love is her nonfiction exploration of Lord Byron's passionate, scandalous love life — bringing her novelist's eye to one of the most fascinating romantic figures in literary history. O'Brien died in 2024. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers the work of one of Ireland's greatest writers — fiction and nonfiction of extraordinary passion, courage, and literary beauty.
