Acclaimed Irish author, Edna O'Brien, has died at the age of 93. She died yesterday and her birthday was last December. (15th December 1930 - 27th July 2024)
Her literary agent, PFD, and publisher, Faber, said she died peacefully on Saturday after a long illness.
They said their thoughts were with her "family and friends, in particular her sons Marcus and Carlo".
Born in rural County Clare in 1930, O'Brien found her education by nuns suffocating and moved to Dublin to escape, subsequently spending much of her life in London.
She published her first novel The Country Girls in 1960.
The ground-breaking account of two female friends and the portrayal of female sexuality scandalised Ireland.
