The Gathering

release date: Dec 01, 2007
The Gathering
A crowd of siblings gathers in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother in this “stunning” novel by the award-winning author of Actress (The Washington Post). The surviving children of the Hegarty clan are gathering for the wake of their wayward, alcoholic brother, Liam, drowned in the sea after filling his pockets with stones. He is the third of the twelve Hegarty siblings to die. His sister, Veronica, collects the body and keeps the dead man company, guarding the secret she shares with him—something that happened in their grandmother’s house in the winter of 1968. As prize-winning author Anne Enright traces the line of betrayal and redemption through three generations, her distinctive intelligence twists the world a fraction and gives it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. The Gathering is an “wonderfully elegant and unsparing” epic of an Irish family (Los Angeles Times)—a novel about love and disappointment, how memories warp and secrets fester, and how fate is written in the body, not in the stars. “Entrancing…a haunting look at a broken family stifled by generations of hurt and disappointment, struggling to make peace with the irreparable.”—Entertainment Weekly “A melancholic love and rage bubbles just beneath the surface of this Dublin clan, and Enright explores it unflinchingly.”—Publishers Weekly “Her sympathy for her characters is as tender and subtle as Alice McDermott’s; her vision of Ireland is as brave and original as Edna O’Brien’s. The Gathering is her best book.”—Colm Toibin “Hypnotic.”—Booklist (starred review)

The Green Road: A Novel

The Green Road: A Novel
One of the Guardian''s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century "With language so vibrant it practically has a pulse, Enright makes an exquisitely drawn case for the possibility of growth, love and transformation at any age." —People From internationally acclaimed author Anne Enright comes a shattering novel set in a small town on Ireland''s Atlantic coast. The Green Road is a tale of family and fracture, compassion and selfishness—a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we strive to fill them. Spanning thirty years, The Green Road tells the story of Rosaleen, matriarch of the Madigans, a family on the cusp of either coming together or falling irreparably apart. As they grow up, Rosaleen''s four children leave the west of Ireland for lives they could have never imagined in Dublin, New York, and Mali, West Africa. In her early old age their difficult, wonderful mother announces that she’s decided to sell the house and divide the proceeds. Her adult children come back for a last Christmas, with the feeling that their childhoods are being erased, their personal history bought and sold. A profoundly moving work about a family''s desperate attempt to recover the relationships they''ve lost and forge the ones they never had, The Green Road is Enright''s most mature, accomplished, and unforgettable novel to date.

What Are You Like?

release date: Dec 01, 2007
What Are You Like?
From a Man Booker Prize–winning author, a “hauntingly eloquent” novel of love, loss, family, and what a woman finds while in search of herself (The Seattle Times). Born in Dublin in 1965, Maria Delahunty was raised by her grieving father after her mother died during childbirth. Two decades later, Maria is living in New York awash in longing and in love with the wrong man. Going through his things, she discovers a photograph of a little girl who looks an awful lot like her—but isn’t her. Soon Maria begins to unravel a long-buried secret more devastating than her father’s mourning, but bursting with possibility . . . “Glittering . . . An Irish woman with a plate of steel somewhere between her skin and her heart . . . must travel back and forth, from childhood memories to the present, ratcheting herself up to adulthood as so many of us do.” —Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review “So sad that you want to laugh out loud. [This novel] deals with areas of experience and patterns of living that no one else has noticed.” —Colm Tóibín, New York Times–bestselling author of Brooklyn “The emotional tautness springing from bare-bones storytelling suggests Raymond Carver. The penetrative exploration of domestic relationships, especial among women, calls to mind . . . Anne Tyler.” —Newsday

The Wren, the Wren: A Novel

release date: Sep 19, 2023
The Wren, the Wren: A Novel
An incandescent novel from one of our greatest living novelists (The Times) about the inheritance of trauma, wonder, and love across three generations of women. Nell McDaragh never knew her grandfather, the famed Irish poet Phil McDaragh. But his love poems seem to speak directly to her. Restless, full of verve and wit, twenty-two-year-old Nell leaves her mother Carmel’s home to find her voice as a writer and live a life of her choosing. Carmel, too, knows the magic of her Daddo’s poetry—and the broken promises within its verses. When Phil abandons the family, Carmel struggles to reconcile “the poet” with the man whose desertion scars Carmel, her sister, and their cancer-ridden mother. The Wren, the Wren brings to life three generations of women who contend with inheritances—of abandonment and of sustaining love that is “more than a strand of DNA, but a rope thrown from the past, a fat twisted rope, full of blood.” In sharp prose studded with crystalline poetry, Anne Enright masterfully braids a family story of longing, betrayal, and hope.

Taking Pictures

release date: Jan 01, 2008
Taking Pictures
The stories in Taking Pictures are snapshots of the body in trouble: in denial, in extremis, in love. Mapping the messy connections between people - and their failures to connect - the characters are captured in the grainy texture of real life: freshly palpable, sensuous and deeply flawed. From Dublin to Venice, from an American college dorm to a holiday caravan in France, these are stories about women stirred, bothered, or fascinated by men they cannot understand, or understand too well. Enright''s women are haunted by children, and by the ghosts of the lives they might have led - lit by new flames, old flames, and flames that are guttering out.A woman''s one night stand is illuminated by dreams of a young boy on a cliff road, another''s is thwarted by an swarm of somnolent bees. A pregnant woman is stuck in a slow lift with a tactile American stranger, a naked mother changes a nappy in a hotel bedroom, and waits for her husband to come back from the bar. These are sharp, vivid stories of loss and yearning, of surrender to responsibilities or to unexpected delight; all share the unsettling, dislocated reality, the subversive wit and awkward tenderness that have marked Anne Enright as one of our most thrillingly gifted writers.

The Wig My Father Wore

release date: Dec 01, 2007
The Wig My Father Wore
From the winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Gathering. “Clever, unsettling, and thoroughly modern . . . We can hear echoes of the Joyce of Dubliners.” —The New York Times Book Review The second novel to be published in America by widely acclaimed Irish author Anne Enright, The Wig My Father Wore is a spry, hilarious novel about parents, love, religion, and the absurdities of them all. Grace is a young Dubliner who works on a television show called Love Quiz. Her father is going benignly senile, but her life otherwise seems fairly solid. When Stephen arrives on her doorstep, however, Grace has no idea what she’s in for. Stephen explains that he is an angel, a former bridge builder who committed suicide in 1934. He has been sent back to earth (as all suicides are) to guide lost souls. Grace does not take this personally at first, but eventually she has to face the idea that things are not so easy, and that her greatest intimacy is with this supernatural creature. As Grace begins to take stock of her life and the prospect of caring enough about something to fight for it, The Wig My Father Wore takes us on a moving, surreal romp through Catholicism, parents, and the reclamation of love from the twin modern evils of cynicism and the detritus of pop culture. “Weird and wonderful . . . Enright beams out a vibrant and complex picture of religion, sex, love, and redemption united in a celestial blue, televisual glow of wit and linguistic sedition.” —The Guardian (London) “Mesmerizing.” —The Independent on Sunday (London)

Yesterday's Weather

release date: Sep 01, 2009
Yesterday's Weather
From the author of the Man Booker Prize— winning literary sensation and long-time Globe and Mail bestseller The Gathering, comes a dazzling, seductive new collection of stories. “Anne Enright’s style is as sharp and brilliant as Joan Didion’s; the scope of her understanding is as wide as Alice Munro’s; . . . her vision of Ireland is as brave and original as Edna O’Brien’s.” — Colm Tóibín A rich collection of sharp, vivid stories of loss and yearning, of the ordinary defeats and unexpected delights that grow out of the bonds between husbands and wives, mothers and children, and intimate strangers. Bringing together in a single elegant edition new stories as well as a selection of stories never before published in Canada (from her UK published The Portable Virgin, 1991), Yesterday’s Weather exhibits the unsettling, carefully drawn reality, the subversive wit, and the awkward tenderness that mark Anne Enright as one of the most thrillingly gifted writers of our time.

Actress

release date: Mar 03, 2020
Actress
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN''S PRIZE 2020 Man Booker Prize-winner and bestselling author Anne Enright''s latest--a brilliant and moving novel about fame, sexual power, and a daughter''s search to understand her mother''s hidden truths. This is the story of Irish theatre legend, Katherine O''Dell, as written by her daughter Norah. It tells of early stardom in Hollywood, of highs and lows on the stages of Dublin and London''s West End. Katherine''s life is a grand performance, with young Norah watching from the wings. But this romance between mother and daughter cannot survive Katherine''s past, or the world''s damage. As Norah uncovers her mother''s secrets, she acquires a few of her own. Then, fame turns to infamy when Katherine decides to commit a bizarre crime. Actress is about a daughter''s search for the truth: the dark secret in the bright star, and what drove Katherine finally mad. Brilliantly capturing the glamour of post-war America and the shabbiness of 1970s Dublin, Actress is an intensely moving, disturbing novel about mothers and daughters and the men in their lives. A scintillating examination of the corrosive nature of celebrity, it is also a sad and triumphant tale of freedom from bad love, and from the avid gaze of the crowd.

The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch

release date: Dec 01, 2007
The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch
A novel based on the life of the nineteenth-century Irishwoman who became Paraguay’s Eva Peron, from the Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Gathering and Actress. In the spring of 1854 in Paris, Francisco Solano López came to the house of Eliza Lynch to improve his French, or so he said. Eliza was nineteen, already with an ex-husband, and he was the young son of Paraguay’s dictator in Europe recruiting engineers for South America’s first railroad. By the time he returned to Asunción in 1855, Eliza was pregnant with his child. In less than a decade, López plunged Paraguay into a conflict that would kill over half its population. By then Eliza was notorious—as both the angel of the battlefield inspiring the troops, and the demon whose rapacious appetites drove López’s fatal ambition. This is her story, in which “Enright artfully explores the power of beauty and the beauty of power, and finds them remarkably similar as neither leads to a good end” (Booklist). “The magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez . . . springs to mind.” —The Guardian “Water, an element as silvery and unpredictable as Enright’s extraordinary prose . . . transports Eliza from Ireland to Europe . . . to Paraguay and back to Britain.” —The New York Times Book Review

Rosaleens Fest
Rosaleen ist eine Frau, die nichts tut und von den anderen alles erwartet. Sie ist Mitte siebzig, die vier Kinder sind schon lange aus dem Haus. Die Brüder Dan und Emmett sind vor der Enge der irischen Heimat in die Ferne geflohen; das Nesthäkchen Hanna wollte auf den Theaterbühnen der Welt reüssieren, spricht aber nun dem Alkohol zu, und Constance, die Älteste, hat sich selbst verloren. Doch abgenabelt hat sich keines der Kinder. Noch immer versucht jedes auf seine Weise, es dieser besten aller Mütter recht zu machen. Und scheitert. Da kommt die Einladung zu einem letzten Weihnachtsfest in Ardeevin. Rosaleen möchte das Haus, in dem die Kinder groß geworden sind, das voller Erinnerungen an glückliche Momente und Verletzungen steckt, verkaufen. Die Geschwister reisen mit diffuser Hoffnung auf Versöhnung an – und doch endet es, wie noch jedes Weihnachten geendet hat. Booker-Preisträgerin Anne Enright wagt sich auf den dunklen Grund unserer Gefühle, studiert menschliches Verhalten dort, wo es am störanfälligsten ist, wo Liebe und Hass nahe beieinander liegen und es kein oder zumindest kein einfaches Entrinnen gibt: in der Familie.

Während sie im Dubliner Elternhaus die Beerdigung vorbereitet, überwältigen sie die Erinnerungen an ihre Kindheit, an ihre Großmutter, die aus Vernunftgründen auf die Liebe ihres Lebens verzichtete, an ihre Mutter, die sich nach den vielen Geburten und Fehlgeburten nicht einmal die Namen all ihrer Kinder merken konnte. Und an jenen Tag, an dem ihrem Bruder Liam, gerade neun Jahre alt, etwas angetan wurde, vor dem sie ihn hätte beschützen müssen. Ein bewegender Roman, dessen sprachliche Finesse und eindrucksvolle Bildlichkeit einen bisher ungekannten Blick auf das verletzliche Wesen der menschlichen Seele zu werfen vermag.

La veglia
Veronica Hegarty viene da una famiglia cattolica tradizionale come ce ne sono tante in Irlanda. Anche ora che ha una sua famiglia, con un marito e due giovani figlie, il legame con la madre settantenne e con i suoi otto fratelli e sorelle rimasti è sempre molto forte anche se contrastato. In particolare con Liam, il fratello a cui è sempre stata più legata, nonostante fosse il più scapestrato. Quando Liam viene trovato morto nei pressi di Brighton, Veronica sa che a ucciderlo non è stato l’alcool. O almeno non solo. Le radici dei problemi del fratello affondavano in qualcosa che era successo a casa dei nonni molti anni prima, e a cui lei aveva assistito. Mentre Veronica organizza il funerale del fratello, ed è costretta a dedicarsi a tutti quei doveri di circostanza che sono imprescindibili in quelle dolorose situazioni, non può fare a meno di intraprendere un viaggio nei ricordi, nei traumi, nelle paure, nelle ossessioni e nei segreti che popolano il suo passato e quello di Liam. Perché solo ricordando si può andare avanti e non è possibile fuggire da ciò che si è e da quel che si ama. Con La veglia, vincitore del Booker Prize, Anne Enright ha mostrato al mondo il suo talento e un’incredibile capacità di raccontare la quotidianità, l’intimità, il dolore, la redenzione di una famiglia. Di solito, con l’andar del tempo, i fratelli diventano meno importanti. Liam aveva deciso di non farlo. Aveva deciso di restare importante, fino all’ultimo. “Questo romanzo è chiaramente frutto di una grande intelligenza, che si somma a un talento per l’osservazione e la deduzione.” The Guardian “Anne Enright tende imboscate come solo la memoria sa fare, ti trascina in un ricordo e poi mette in dubbio la sua veridicità.” The Sunday Telegraph

Doch dann treffen sie sich zufällig wieder, trinken zu viel, landen im Bett – und verfallen einander. So beginnt eine verhängnisvolle Affäre, die jahrelang vor den Ehepartnern geheim gehalten wird.

Mit Anatomie einer Affäre ist der Irin ein würdiger Nachfolger ihres preisgekrönten Romans Das Familientreffen gelungen: schockierend offen, scharfsinnig und von einer psychologischen Präzision, die kein Entrinnen zulässt.

Alles, was du wünschst

Alles, was du wünschst
Lebenspralle Geschichten von der Booker-Preisträgerin „Es ist das große Rätsel der Menschheit: Was Männer wollen. Und was sie anzurichten bereit sind, um es zu kriegen.“ „Alles, was du wünschst“ versammelt neunzehn Geschichten der Booker-Preisträgerin Anne Enright, Geschichten über das Chaos der Liebe und über den manchmal doch nicht ganz so kleinen Unterschied, Geschichten voller Lebenskraft, die ihren dunklen Kern meisterhaft hinter einer strahlenden Hülle zu verbergen wissen. Kitty arbeitet in der Bettenabteilung eines Kaufhauses. Gerade wurden Rolltreppen installiert, eine große Neuerung, an die sie sich nicht so recht gewöhnen mag, aber es ist sowieso nichts mehr los bei den Betten. Die Kunden scheinen dringend Schlaf zu brauchen – von Verliebtheit keine Spur. Doch mit dem Auftauchen der Rolltreppen nimmt plötzlich auch Kittys Leben Fahrt auf: Sie, bereits über vierzig, ist noch einmal schwanger geworden! Da bleiben eines Tages die Rolltreppen stehen ... Die Irin Anne Enright spricht auf unerschrockene Art und Weise aus, wie es im Leben vieler Frauen aussieht. Frauen, die von den Geistern des Lebens verfolgt werden, das sie hätten führen können, die Möglichkeiten erahnen und doch zu sehr in ihrem Alltag gefangen sind, um sie zu ergreifen.

Sammenkomsten

release date: Feb 20, 2011
Sammenkomsten
Sammenkomsten er en familiesaga af den mere barske slags. Romanen foregår hhv. i Irland og England og skildrer en irsk familie gennem tre generationer. Titlen refererer til det møde mellem de forskellige familiemedlemmer, der finder sted i anledning af et dødsfald og en begravelse. Liam Hegarty var alkoholiker og begik selvmord i havet ud for Brighton. Hans mor og hans ni efterladte søskende samles i Dublin for at sørge over ham. Fortælleren er hans søster Veronica på 39 år, som er den i søskendeflokken, der stod ham nærmest. Opholdet i Dublin giver hende anledning til at gennemgå familiens turbulente historie i et forsøg på at forstå Liams død. Han døde af druk, ja, men hvorfor drak han? Veronica er overbevist om, at grunden til hans alkoholisme skal findes i hændelser fra barndommen, nærmere bestemt noget der skete, da hun og Liam en overgang boede hos deres bedstemor i 1968. Sammenkomsten er en klog og indsigtsfuld fortælling om familien og alt det gode og onde, den kan rumme. Anne Enright har selv karakteriseret romanen som "...det intellektuelle sidestykke til en Hollywood-tåreperser." Anne Enright (1962) debuterede med sin første roman,The Wig My Father Wore, i 1995. The Gathering er hendes fjerde roman, og hendes første på dansk, og i oktober 2007 fik hun Man Booker-prisen for den. Forfatterskabet er et af de vigtige og vægtige i moderne irsk litteratur, og Anne Enright er bl.a. kendt og berømmet for sit altid skarpe - og ærlige - blik på mennesker og relationerne mellem dem.

Katherine O’Dell è una leggenda del teatro irlandese. Sua figlia Norah, nel corso di un’intervista, inizia a tratteggiarne un ritratto, rievocando la figura magnetica e ingombrante della madre. Katherine aveva conosciuto il teatro seguendo la compagnia di cui faceva parte il padre per poi approdare a Londra, Broadway e, infine, Hollywood in un’ascesa fulminea e inarrestabile. Ma il successo, arrivato così rapidamente, altrettanto velocemente la abbandona. Per lei, abituata ai riflettori e alle attenzioni della gente, è un duro colpo che la porta a distaccarsi dalla realtà, in un crescendo di follia che le fa compiere un bizzarro crimine. Raccontando la diva Katherine O’Dell, Norah svela anche la sua storia: il loro rapporto difficile ma forte, i litigi e i chiarimenti, l’atmosfera dell’Irlanda degli anni settanta in cui è cresciuta. Un flusso di coscienza che mischia nostalgia e disincanto, tenerezza e dolore tra il suo dover essere figlia e il voler essere se stessa. Anne Enright costruisce il ritratto raffinato e commovente di due donne allo specchio, due generazioni femminili alle prese con la libertà, il desiderio sessuale, la fragilità, la ricerca della fama, il bisogno dell’amore.
