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."

It’s a good book but it’s also very predictable.I’ve read other books in the series and they have been a little bit better than this one.

Was very predictable and slow at the start. The characters were quite annoying. The ending got a little better but not my favorite Frieda read. :(

I loved every second of this book. It's everything you want in a summer beach read. I especially enjoyed the historical element that incorporated a haunting along with the romance.
