«Down by the River» is the literary fiction novel by Edna O'Brien, published by W&N in paperback (298 pages, in English).
In the seemingly idyllic rural Ireland, a crime of passion unleashes an emotional conflict that divides the community. At the centre of the crisis, a young woman struggles with the conflicts between mind and body, the teachings of her faith and her growing bewilderment about what to do. As she tries to hide and then escape her fate, she is driven to the brink of despair, until her private tragedy becomes a public matter and the power of decision slips from her hands.
Second instalment of the author's Modern Ireland Trilogy.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in rural Ireland, faith and female autonomy.
Josephine Edna O'Brien was an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short-story writer.
