Saints and Sinners (short story collection)

Saints and Sinners is a short story collection by Edna O'Brien.

The collection includes the O'Brien story "Sinners" in which a lonely widow running an isolated rural bed and breakfast overhears the sexual antics of a man, woman and teenage girl who on arrival claim to be couple and daughter - "Then came the exclamations, the three pitches of sound so different -- the woman's loud and gloating, the girl's, helpless, as if she were almost crying, and the man, like a jackass down the woods with his lady loves.

"[1] Saints and Sinners won the 2011 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.

Culture Critic gave it an aggregated critic score of 90 percent based on an accumulation of British press reviews.
