Coles No One Tells You: The Last Years of Edna O'Brien at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
As Ireland's iconic Edna O'Brien confronts the brutal realities of old age - pain, confusion, hospitals, carers, the battle to keep writing - the world she built through language begins to contract. Her son Carlo tracks every flicker of resilience and every devastating loss, from the comic to the catastrophic, in a narrative that moves with the real rhythm of decline: hope, setback, defiance, collapse, repeat. At once a love story, a document of artistic obsession and a confrontation with mortality, No One Tells You asks what remains when work falters, independence vanishes and the child becomes the witness. An unguarded, deeply humane memoir about the cost of genius, the labour of caretaking and the grief we're never prepared for.
