They were an unlikely couple ... an age gap of 17 years ... huge differences in class, education and religion... --Times, Saturday 29 May 2010 An international bestselling author, O'Connor is a past winner of the Irish Post Award for Fiction, an American Library Association Award, France's Prix Millepages, Italy's Premio Acerbi, and the Prix Madeleine Zepter for European Novel of the Year.
