    A true national treasure. I have a handwritten letter from Edna which is one of my most prized possessions.

    Oh how I relate to your anger, Dear Edna 👏 Only recently I was feeling the same way, I always stood back in quietness I recently was reviewing my life and I am so proud of all my achievements I earnestly wish to write, yet something holds me back My story woukd be to do with journeys , interwoven journeys, Ireland to Canada Mary Canada 🇨🇦

    Her book “James Joyce” surely ranks among the greatest biographies of all time.

    What a beautiful lady. As a 65 year old man I have never read a single word she has written. Better late than never.

    Fans of Edna O'Brien's writing must read her latest novel, The Little Red Chairs. Age has only enriched her writing.
