The Love Object

I never heard of Edna O’Brien until goodreads came out with a list of the best short story collections ever.  A comment suggested that this should be put on the list.  I found it a rewarding collection and will read more of O’Brien.  Sister Imelda reminded me of Madchen in Uniform.  It’s a story about a student who has a crush on a nun.  The Connor Girls was probably my favorite story about a girl’s recollection of two strange sisters and their love lives.  The Doll was also interesting about a teacher stealing a doll away from one of her students.
