Review:
Edna O'Brien is one of the greatest writers in the English-speaking world. (New York Times)
It's a feast of a book and, for all its central sadness, a great celebration of life. (Daily Mail)
The first eighty pages . . . constitute a reconstruction of a childhood experience which, so far as I know, is unique in the English language . . . [The book] is outstandingly memorable because its genius is the pain of memory. (John Berger)
She evokes with power and precision the claustrophobic warmth, the boredom, terror and gaiety of a particular life in a particular time and place . . . a work of considerable distinction. (Sunday Times)
Edna O'Brien is one of our bravest and best novelists. (Irish Times)
O'Brien's evocative prose shows the chilling hold that history and the dead clamp on the living. (Time)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Pagan Place is Edna O'Brien's stunning novel about the uniquely wonderful, terrible, peculiar place she once called home. She writes not only of a life there - of a child becoming a woman - but of the Irish experience out of which that life arises. This is the Ireland of country villages and barley fields, of druids in the woods and of mischievous girls. Ireland has marked her life and work with unmistakable colour and depth, and here she recreates her homeland with a singular grace and intensity. Edna O'Brien's stunning novel about the uniquely wonderful, terrible, peculiar place she once called home.
