«The Gathering» is Anne Enright's literary novel, published by Vintage in paperback (272 pages, in English).
After Liam drowns, the nine children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake. Veronica, his sister, holds a secret from her grandmother's house in 1968. The novel spans three generations of wounds and redemption: thwarted desires, broken loyalties, and memories that warp as secrets fester.
The novel won the 2007 Man Booker Prize, the Irish Book Award for best Irish novel of the year, and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award. It is a work of contemporary Irish literary fiction.
For readers of literary fiction and book clubs interested in family dramas with an Irish backdrop and a deep look at memory.
