Description

A haunting novel from the iconic Irish legend behind The Country Girls trilogy.

'The taboo-breaking, the fabulous prose - there's no one like Edna O'Brien.' Anne Enright
'Novels of heart-breaking empathy, rigorous honesty and peerless beauty.' Eimear McBride
'A profound intelligence spurred on by a tangible, fizzing joy.' Megan Nolan
'Brilliant and brave.' Ann Patchett
'A revolution.' John Banville
'Glittering energy.' Colm Tóibín

Edna O'Brien's chilling spectre of a novel, Night, is narrated by one of her most memorable characters, Mary Hooligan. Lying on a four-poster bed, unable to sleep, she recounts her (mis)adventures, courtships, and sexual encounters of the most transgressive kind in a narrative voice of blistering, radical originality.

With an introduction by Andrew O'Hagan
About Edna O'Brien
Edna O'Brien wrote more than twenty celebrated works of fiction, including her classic The Country Girls trilogy, as well as plays and four works of non-fiction, which have been translated into over thirty languages. Her final novel Girl was awarded the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year in 2020. She was the recipient of many honours, including the Irish PEN Lifetime Achievement Award, the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature, and the David Cohen Prize for Literature, as well as being appointed an honorary Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2017. In 2021, O'Brien was also named Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Born and raised in the west of Ireland, she lived in London for many years before her death in July 2024.
