A beautitul woman in her early thirties, Mary Lavery, nee Dunne lives in New York and is happily married to a much feted British playing playwright. But before this there have been other lives, two previous husbands, and a Catholic girlhood filled with suppressed passion. A brief encounter with an old friend brings back a sudden flood of memories from the past - memories which confuse and disturb. Female desire and sexuality, and the elusive nature of identity are brilliantly explored in this novel which glimmers with insight and truth.I Am Mary Dunne is a novel, first published in 1968, by Northern Irish-Canadian writer Brian Moore about one day in the life of a beautiful and well-to-do 31-year-old Canadian woman living in New York City with her third husband, a successful playwright.

Robert Fulford, writing in Canada's The Globe and Mail, calls it [a] feminist novel written before the wave of feminist novels began. In its original draft, I Am Mary Dunne was called A Woman of No Identity. I am Mary Dunne - Brian Moore
