In the Forest by Edna O’Brien

Description In the Forest is a newly reissued edition of the terrifying novel from “one of the greatest writers in the English-speaking world” ( The New York Times ), Edna O’Brien. O’Brien takes her reader into the mind of Michen O’Kane, a murderer who terrorizes the countryside of western Ireland, and traces his transformation from a neglected child to a twisted killer. In the Forest is based on a true story of local horror, and O’Brien provides fragments of O’Kane’s story while leaving her reader to try and make sense of his psyche.
