The Small Town Lovers Written and read by Edna O'Brien
' It is a narrow country road in Ireland, tarred very blue and hedged in by ditches on either side. I often went out there to convey a friend or collect day-old chicks from the Protestant woman who had the incubator. Always, I encountered the Donnellys - Jack and Hilda, the town lovers. They passed me on the road but did not salute me. being too busy with one another.'
Producer JUDlm EI.LIOTT BBC Northern Ireland
