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.

我得到的是震撼的效果,就像家门前突然有个美不胜收的雕塑,,她是一个女作家,一个让我萌生爱意的女作家,为了她也许我会抛弃爱妻和誓言。很喜欢她的作品,有时间会再读她的其他作品。我徘徊在她的语境中,就像置于密林,时而有绿眼的狼群在奔跑,时而有婆娑的树影让我思索,...
評分一般家庭中都存在两种人与人之间最亲密的关系——父母与子女、丈夫与妻子。这两种亲密关系都与肉体和爱有关:前者因为先天的肉体脱胎关系而天然相爱,后者因为后天的相爱而追求肉体相融。因为夫妻之间的爱和亲密关系都是后天的,所以夫与妻既相爱又相互伤害并不奇怪;而父母与...

ravishingly painful & disturbingly good.
评分這本在Goodreads上有一萬多的平均隻有三星的作品在豆瓣上確大受好評。聽瞭三分之一,棄之。感覺有點太散漫瞭。說直白一些,就是沒有寫到我的心上。
评分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.
