I had the pleasure of meeting Edna O’Brien a few times - first at Brighton Festival then @budlitfest.bsky.social. I adored her wit, her charm, her resilience, her passion for literature and her refusal to suffer fools. What a joy to listen to this nourishing interview with @sineadgleeson.bsky.social

New Year, new skies. Looking forward to dipping my toe in the water here.
