Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story

A 93-year-old Irish writer Edna O'Brien recounts her controversial life, novels, love affairs, and stardom through personal journals.

Her books were banned and burned in her native Ireland. In London and New York, she had illicit love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.

In her final year, aged 93, she shares her diaries and gives one last interview to filmmaker Sinead O'Shea about her extraordinary life. Her diaries are read aloud by Oscar nominated actress Jessie Buckley.
