Winner of the 2007 Man Booker Prize, Anne Enright's The Gathering is the tale of Veronica, one of a large Irish family, who wrestles with the complexities of life. The adult Verionica must wrestle with her brother's suicide and the family drama and emotion that surrounds it.
While The Gathering clearly shows Enright's excellent use of prose. Those same strong words and the emotions they evoke tend to make this title one that you will either love or intensely dislike.
