Family secrets unravel at Irish wake.

"The Gathering" by Anne Enright is a poignant exploration of family and memory, with the rich backdrop of Ireland setting the scene. The novel digs deep into the complexities of familial relationships and the personal histories that shape us. If you appreciate literary fiction that doesn't shy away from the messier aspects of life and offers a raw, yet tender look at what binds families together, this book's introspective narrative and Enright's lyrical prose are likely to resonate with you. It's not just a story; it's an examination of the human condition through the intimate lens of one family's shared grief and enduring connections.

Description

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. "The Gathering" 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.
