Biography
Edna O'Brien is an Irish novelist and short story writer whose works often revolve around the inner feelings of women, and their problems in relating to men and to society as a whole. Her first play, Virginia, based on the life and letters of Virginia Woolf, was followed by the family saga Our Father and a version of Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis. She has written many novels, including The Country Girls (1960), and In the Forest (2003).
