Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. His sister, Veronica was there then, as she is now: keeping the dead man company, just for another little while. The "Gathering" is a family epic, condensed and clarified through the remarkable lens of Anne Enright's unblinking eye. It is also a sexual history: tracing the line of hurt and redemption through three generations - starting with the grandmother, Ada Merriman - showing how memories warp and family secrets fester. This is a novel about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire, and how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars. The "Gathering" sends fresh blood through the Irish literary tradition, combining the lyricism of the old with the shock of the new. As in all Anne Enright's work, fiction and non-fiction, this is a book of daring, wit and insight: her distinctive intelligence twisting the world a fraction, and giving it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

(Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Anne Teresa Enright FRSL (born 11 October 1962) is an Irish writer. The first Laureate for Irish Fiction (2015-2018) and winner of the Man Booker Prize (2007), she has published seven novels, many short stories, and a non-fiction work called "Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood", about the birth of her two children. Her essays on literary themes have appeared in the London Review of Books and The New York Review of Books, and she writes for the books pages of The Irish Times and The Guardian. Her fiction explores themes such as family, love, identity and motherhood. Enright won the 2007 Man Booker Prize for her fourth novel "The Gathering". Her second novel, "What Are You Like?", was shortlisted in the novel category of the 2000 Whitbread Awards. Her 2012 novel "The Forgotten Waltz" won the Andre Carnegie Medal for Fiction. Her novel "The Green Road" was shortlisted for the Woman's Prize, and won The Irish Novel of the Year (2015). "The Gathering" is a 2007 novel by Irish writer Anne Enright. It won the 2007 Booker Prize. Although it received mostly favourable reviews on its first publication, sales of The Gathering had been modest before it was named as one of the six books on the Booker Prize shortlist in September 2007. After winning the prize, sales more than doubled compared to sales before the announcement. Enright described the book as "--- the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepie."'
