Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story is a candid portrait of one of the world’s greatest and most charismatic writers, Irish author Edna O’Brien.

Her books were banned and burned in her native Ireland. In London and New York, she had illicit love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.

In her final year, aged 93, she shares her diaries and gives one last interview to filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea (Pray for Our Sinners) about her extraordinary life. Her diaries are read aloud by Oscar nominated actress Jessie Buckley (Wicked Little Letters).
