Anne Enright's Booker Prize-winning "The Gathering" is a family
epic, condensed and clarified through the lens of the author's
unblinking eye. In essence, it's a sexual history: tracing the line of
hurt and redemption through three generations showing how
memories warp and family secrets fester. As in all her work, this is
a book of daring, wit and insight: Enright's distinctive intelligence
twisting the world a fraction, and giving it back to us in a new
light.
