Anna Burns' Painful Journey to Healing & Her Elusive Third Book

Growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, Burns experiences shaped her writing, which relies on quiet patience and natural character voices. Her influences range from nineteenth-century novels to trauma experts. With Faber reissuing her works, Burns focuses on healing and her craft.
