The Gathering is a novel by the Irish author Anne Enright. It is Enright's fourth book. It won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. It had been an outsider to win the prize, but was eventually chosen unanimously.

The novel is a saga about an Irish family set in Ireland and England.It begins with the suicide of Liam Hegarty. His family gather in Dublin for his wake. Liam's sister Veronica, the novel's narrator, looks through her family's history to try and make sense of his death. In the process she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family. Enright described the book as "...the intellectual equivalent of a Hollywood weepie."

这还是我第一次读到爱尔兰作家的作品,自然是抱着一种新鲜感开卷的。平时接触的西方文学中,如果说英国文学,那是十分熟悉的,然而对于爱尔兰,却只有一个模糊的印象。而要想真正深刻的理解一个作家的作品,他身上的民族烙印、生活经历又是不可忽视的。 《聚会》...

A dark and fragmentary record about family, past trauma and death; the book is about delving into the dark past and seeking reconciliation with it. It's sanity and madness, devastation and redemption, opening a wound and healing it all at the same time.It's a rich book. I have to confess that much of its content is beyond my understanding.
