Writer Edna O’Brien returns to Co. Clare, Ireland 1975

Irish author, Edna O'Brien, has died at the age of 93.
Born in rural County Clare in 1930, O'Brien found her education by nuns suffocating and moved to Dublin to escape, subsequently spending much of her life in London.
She published her first novel The Country Girls in 1960. The ground-breaking account of two female friends and the portrayal of female sexuality scandalised Ireland.
