Down By the River
by Edna O'Brien
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Emotional novel set in Ireland dealing with complex family relationships and the hypocrisy of social "norms" and "values." The novel is based on a controversial case in 1990s Ireland in which a 14-year-old girl becomes pregnant with her father's child. Events spiral out of control as opposing factions seek to control this girl's destiny. Per the publisher: "O'Brien has crafted a novel that contains the sweep of women's history that led to the case and continues beyond it. (The novel) is an unforgettable portrait of girlhood, loneliness, and our deepest humanity."

As with most in this series, it’s nice for while I’m at work but I don’t think I’d read them “for real”. They’re entertaining enough, but not the next great novel. It’s a sweet book and I enjoyed it, I just like others better.
