About This Item

London: Jonathan Cape , 2007. A first edition, first printing published by Jonathan Cape in 2007. A near fine, if not better, copy with only slight bumping to the head of the spine. Clean internally. In a like, unclipped wrapper. Written by Irish author, Anne Enright, The Gathering centres around the nine surviving children of the Hegarty family who come together in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother. Initial modest sales of the book were boosted when the novel won the Booker prize in 2007.

Synopsis

Anne Enright is a 2007 Booker Prize-winning Irish author. She has written essays, short-stories, non-fiction and novels. This story, The Gathering, is the narrative voice of Veronica, who is one of twelve grown-up children in the Hegarty family; it discusses the apparent suicide of her younger brother Liam, and the effect it has on her and the family. The novel is a strong and poignant portrayal of loss and alienation. Enright captures the peculiar relationship of these close siblings perfectly.
