Beschreibung:
Anne Enright was born in Dublin, where she now lives and works. She has written two collections of stories, published together as Yesterday's Weather, one book of non-fiction, Making Babies, and seven novels, including The Gathering, which won the 2007 Man Booker Prize, The Forgotten Waltz, which was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and The Green Road, which was the Bord Gáis Energy Novel of the Year and won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award. In 2015 she was appointed as the first Laureate for Irish Fiction, and in 2018 she received the Irish PEN Award for Outstanding Contribution to Irish Literature. She is also the recipient of the 2022 Irish Book Awards Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2024 Writers' Prize for Fiction.
Anne Enrights erster Roman nach dem Booker Prize prämierten 'The Gathering'. Während der Winter des Jahres 2009 das Leben in Dublin zum Erliegen bringt, erinnert sich Gina Moynihan an ihre Beziehung zu dem verheirateten Sean Vallely, der Liebe ihres Lebens. Sie rekapituliert die vielen gestohlenen Nachmittage in Hotels, die Leidenschaft und die Einsamkeit, die ihr diese Liebe brachte.
A powerful, moving book of secrets, longing and loss, from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering.
If it hadn't been for the child then none of this might have happened.
She saw me kissing her father.
She saw her father kissing me.
The fact that a child got mixed up in it all made us feel that it mattered, that there was no going back.
