Widely considered to be one of the greatest writers of her generation, Edna O'Brien's debut novel The Country Girls was met with severe hostility in her native Ireland where it outraged the ubiquitous Catholic Church and was in fact banned.<\/p>
<\/p>
Among her many awards and honours, she was a Saoi at Ireland's academy of artists Aosd\u00e1na and in 2021 France presented her with their highest honour for the Arts, the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.<\/p>
