A country girl

A lifetime exile

"A lot of memoirs end in catharsis. They´re hunky-dory with their mother and father, their sister and mother, and I feel that´s imposed. You´re alone with yourself, and your writing, and the feeling of one´s mind fraying, from a lot of things--the weight of time, the wailing of the foxes."  


   ... Edna O'Brien (1930b), an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short story writer
