The KI evening was stressful. We were each obliged to put on our party turn.

Edna O'B said that despite her party reputation, she only went out about four times a year - so you were honoured!

A (now disgraced) writer called Des Hogan lived there too and he used to host soirees. Edna O'Brien came to one of those and so did a young Kazuo Ishiguro.<br />I have searched my alphabetically arranged shelves and cannot find any Edna O'Briens which is strange.Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414527658216916537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-79133255900047594612019-07-09T21:33:59.914+01:002019-07-09T21:33:59.914+01:00Yes, my favourite, too, Veronica.

It was very enjoyable. I have read almost everything by her and have a shelf of her books. Like you I shelve my fiction alphabetically; otherwise how the heck would you find anything? I'm sorry you've lost your copy of the Country Girls - how galling.<br /><br />The Country Girls trilogy remains my favourite of hers.<br /><br />Hope your week is going well.Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.com
