Book Overview

by Edna O'Brien (Author)

The Light of Evening is a reissued edition of the novel by award-winning author Edna O'Brien.

In Edna O'Brien's twentieth work of fiction, an elderly widow on her deathbed in rural Ireland tells the story of her life--a story of love, family, estrangement, and motherhood.

"O'Brien brings together the earthy and delicately poetic: she has the sound of Molly Bloom and the skills of Virginia Woolf." --Newsweek
