Publisher Description THE GATHERING is a family epic, condensed and clarified through the remarkable lens of Anne Enright's unblinking eye. It is also a sexual history: tracing the line of hurt and redemption through three generations - starting with the grandmother, Ada Merriman - showing how memories warp and family secrets fester. This 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. THE GATHERING sends fresh blood through the Irish literary tradition, combining the lyricism of the old with the shock of the new. As in all Anne Enright's work, fiction and non-fiction, this is a book of daring, wit and insight: her distinctive intelligence twisting the world a fraction, and giving it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. |

Linda's Review of The Gathering
I enjoyed this novel. It was thought provoking and powerful. I thought the main character was very real. I belong to a book club and 3 of them thought it was a terrible book and didn't finish reading it. I however, loved it and felt I got a good understanding of the lives of these children and what a profound effect the incident had on two of them.
