The novel follows an unnamed Irish protagonist as she recovers on a Mediterranean island.[1] It was O'Brien's tenth novel, published 11 years after Johnny I Hardly Knew You.[2] Critical receptionKirkus Reviews was mildly critical of the novel's style, concluding that it was "a novel governed (perhaps too strictly) by the impulse to lyricism, but one that peers into the coming of old age with fear, longing--and passion."[1] Publishers Weekly was similarly critical writing "the novel is fatally mired in symbolism and improbable events."[3]Similarly, the Chicago Tribune reviewer Maura Boland thought the novel failed at developing plot and character, writing " lyrical prose and striking metaphors are not enough. The book sags under the weight of literary and religious allusions, and its episodic structure at times almost obscures the narrative."[2] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/edna-obrien-6/the-high-road-4/|title=THE HIGH ROAD by Edna O'Brien {{!}} Kirkus Reviews|website=Kirkus Reviews|language=en-us|access-date=2016-03-07}} 2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1988-11-20/entertainment/8802180764_1_edna-o-brien-high-road-country-girls|title=The Odyssey Of A Typically Love-obsessed Edna O`brien Heroine|last=Boland|first=Maura|date=November 20, 1988|work=The Chicago Tribune|access-date=|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-452-26306-2|title=Fiction Book Review: The High Road by Edna O'Brien|website=PublishersWeekly.com|access-date=2016-03-07}} Further reading
