Description
The Gathering is a moving portrait of a large Irish family, tracing the line of betrayal and redemption through three generations. The novel follows the nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan as they gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother, Liam, who drowned in the sea. A secret shared by his sister, Veronica, is revealed, and the family's past is laid bare.
Through the distinctive intelligence of its author, Anne Enright, the world is twisted and given back to us in a new and unforgettable light. This is a novel about love and disappointment, about how memories warp and secrets fester, and how fate is written in the body, not in the stars.
A daring, witty, and insightful family epic, The Gathering is a powerful exploration of the complexities of family life and the enduring power of love and memory.
