The Country Girls

Three Novels and an Epilogue

Edna O'Brien

Follow the journey of Caithleen "Kate" Brady and Bridget "Baba" Brennan as they attempt to escape the repressive atmosphere of their small Irish village in the post-World War II era. Kate is a hopeless romantic while Baba is a survivor. Their misadventures in Dublin are full of comical miscommunications, furtive liaisons, bad faith, bad luck, bad sex, and compromise. This omnibus edition includes The Country Girls Trilogy and Epilogue, chronicling the highs and lows of women's lives in remarkable prose that is both blunt and brutal, and whimsical and lyrical.
