Edna O'Brien: Kathleen

Quotes 

• Kathleen : I knew he'd come back one day. Not to me but to Ireland. I dreaded it. He always brought trouble. He wanted to change. Every time was the last time. There were so many last times. He couldn't change.

• Kathleen : [she continues]  Money - he was very good about that. Always made sure we had enough. I never touched it, I used it for the girls. I never took a penny for myself.

• Kathleen : [she continues]  He came and went like a thief. He took his shotgun. It was the last thing of his left in the house. And when I saw it gone, I thought thanks be to God, it's finished. I've seen the last of him.
