GIRL WITH PENNY EYES
Irish author Edna O’Brien has died aged 93. Her debut novel The Country Girls broke down stigmas surrounding sexual discussion in 60s Ireland, and was so controversial it was subject to bans and burnings. The acclaim won out in the end and in her latter years she received various awards from Ireland, Britain, and France. She keeps up the hot streak for The Sick-Bed of Cuchulainn.
