‘A brave, beautiful and quite brilliant novel... it lingers in the heart like a piece of haunting music. To read Anne Enright is to be enthralled and moved’
Joseph O’Connor

*

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.

A dark delight’
Independent

‘Stunningly eloquent and powerful’
Glasgow Herald

‘Superb’
The Times

‘Sharp and brilliant... tender and subtle... her vision of Ireland is brave and original’
Colm Tóibin

‘Muscular, agile, sometimes witty, sometimes hallucinogenic, often dark and lyrical... The Gathering is clearly the product of a remarkable intelligence
A. L. Kennedy, Guardian
