In 1960, Edna O'Brien published The Country Girls , her first novel, which so scandalized the O'Briens' local parish that the book was burned by its priest. O'Brien, married with two sons, was undeterred and has since created a body of work that bears comparison with the best writing of the twentieth century. Country Girl brings us face to face with a life of high drama and contemplation. It is a rich and heady accounting of the events, people, emotions, and landscape that imprint upon and enliven one lifetime.
Starting with O'Brien's birth in a grand but deteriorating house in Ireland, her story moves through convent school to elopement, divorce, single-motherhood, the wild parties of the '60s in London, and encounters with Hollywood giants, pop stars, and literary titans. There is love and unrequited love, and the glamour of trips to America as an acclaimed writer hosted by Jackie Onassis and Hillary Clinton. Brilliant and sensuous, Country Girl is a book we are fortunate that Edna O'Brien decided to write.

用戶評價
期盼瞭近一年的書。半個世紀前奧布萊恩用三個星期寫瞭第一本小說The Country Girls, 這算是她的成名作? 也許,這本書在愛爾蘭遭禁,令她眾叛親離,嫉妒的丈夫對她說, You can write and I will never forgive you.這些危險和威脅沒有把她嚇倒,在創作瞭30餘部作品後, 她著手寫下瞭自己發誓永遠不會寫的迴憶錄，並取名“鄉下姑娘”，迴歸的含義不言而喻，"Any book that is any good must be autobiographical, O’Brien has asserted. And any memoir that is any good must be better-proportioned than real life."
