Description



Book Synopsis



Down by the River is a newly reissued novel from Edna O'Brien, the author of Girl--"one of the most celebrated writers in the English language" (NPR's Weekend Edition).

Set in the author's native Ireland, a powerful and passionate novel about a young girl who becomes pregnant by her father--a situation made worse when it becomes fodder for the gossip mill of church, state, and the town square.
