House of Splendid Isolation | Edna O'Brien

Pick

Decided it was time to read this novel set in 90s Ireland about the Troubles that‘s been sitting on my #tbr shelf. People may know that O‘Brien died recently at 93. I traversed Ireland from Dublin to Northern Ireland & back again in 1992 with my then boyfriend who was from Derry. I recall the people, places, stories, army presence & on one occasion having our car strip-searched. This quiet, menacing, masterfully written novel made me work. 🙏❤️

House of Splendid Isolation | Edna O'Brien

My BIL told me the news of O‘Brien‘s passing. So when we visited a bookshop I saw this and had to purchase. I remember my mother‘s copy of the banned Country Girls, which I hope reread soon.
