 I forgot how explicit Edna O'Brien can be. Just finished a collection of her short stories today!  |

I haven't read any of hers - nothing like a bit of sauciness!!

From her early work - a trilogy -The Country Girls, Girl with Green Eyes, Married Girls - its a long time ago since I read these, but I remember really enjoying them.
From her more recent work I have enjoyed Wild Decembers and Down by the River.
She is always very earthy and sensual! |
