Edna O'Brien announces first novel in ten years

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 14 April 2015 | 23.37

Edna O'Brien will publish her new novel, The Little Red Chairs, a story about a wanted war criminal who settles in a small Irish village, next February.

A press releases from publisher Faber reads: "When a wanted war criminal, masquerading as a healer, settles in a small Irish village, the community is in thrall.  One woman, Fidelma McBride, falls under his spell.

"In this searing novel, Edna O'Brien charts the consequence of that fatal attraction. This is a story about love, the artifice of evil and the terrible necessity of accountability in our shattered, damaged world."

Lee Brackstone, Creative Director, Faber said: 'It has been ten years since the last novel from Edna O'Brien and The Little Red Chairs reminds us why she is recognised as one of the great Irish writers, of any generation.

"Edna has gone deep into the darkness for this book and she  returns with a book of monumental emotional intelligence and courage.

"The novel burns with a fierce lyricism and dares to suggest there is a way back to redemption and hope when great evil is done. It may be her masterpiece."

84-year-old O'Brien was born in Tuamgraney, County Clare and since her debut novel The Country Girls, she has written over twenty novels.

She has also written for the theatre, and penned short story collections and biographies of James Joyce and Lord Byron.

She is the recipient of many awards including the Irish Pen Lifetime Achievement Award, the American National Art's Gold Medal and the Ulysses Medal.
