Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story

In 1960, a young Irish woman named Edna O’Brien became a literary sensation after releasing her sexually frank debut novel, The Country Girls. Her success enraged her husband and made her a pariah in her native Ireland so she made her home in London, where she made and lost a fortune. In July 2024, Edna passed away and this film provides a final testimony from her, aged 93, with excerpts of her personal journals read by Jessie Buckley.
