A Return to County Clare

on BBC Television

with Edna O'Brien
"When I was a child I thought of Lough Derg as the sea"
"When you cross the street you know there are eyes following you because there's not much else to watch except the lorries which come out from Limerick twice a week"
"In the West the only trees look lonely and deranged"
Edna O'Brien now lives in London but in this film she looks again at her childhood home in the West of Ireland which provides the setting for many of her stories and novels.
