Born in 1897, her mother had died when she and her eight brothers and sister were very young, and they were brought up by five remarkably individual aunts who made 'from five to forty-five different sorts of impressions' on their family life. AUTHBIO: Playwright, journalist and prize-winning novelist, Kate O'Brien is treasured for her strikingly beautiful fiction and poignantly accurate portraits of the country in which she was born, Ireland; of the country with which she was infatuated, Spain; and of her absorbing life experiences)
