ONE OF THE BBCS 100 NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD

Caithleen Kate Brady and Bridget Baba Brennan are growing up in a repressive Irish village after World War II. Kate is a romantic, looking for love; Baba is a reckless survivor. After being expelled from convent school, they dream of the bright lights of Dublin - and are rewarded with bad luck and bad sex; marry for the wrong reasons; but continue to fight the expectations forced upon girls of every era to become brave new women.

Edna OBriens debut novels revolutionised Irish literature in the 1960s. Banned by the authorities as indecent and burned by the clergy, they were notorious for their frank portrayal of sexual desire: but scandal turned to fame, and made this glorious coming-of-age tale an instant classic that inspires and delights readers to this day.
