It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man, faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery that forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

A Story of Ireland for All Humanity
Revisado: 10-01-24
This was such a poignant and well-wrought story delivered in exquisite prose. I see this already as a classic of world literature. It is deeply rooted in Ireland, but for better and worse it embodies the reality of our human experience.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 793
It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.

Subtle and precise prose and fine performance
Revisado: 09-22-24
I liked the subtle and sensitive insights into sadness, happiness, and adult meanness and kindness toward children.

In the early 1900s an important ship sinks into the Caribbean Sea, just as the Virgin Islands are transferred from Danish to American rule. Orphaned by the sunk vessel are two sisters and their half-brother, now faced with an uncertain identity and future. Each of them is unusually beautiful, and each is in possession of a particular magic that will either sink or save them. Chronicling three generations of an island family from 1916 to the 1970s, Land of Love and Drowning is a novel of love and magic.

This is a beautiful story, sometimes heart-rending. The Girl with the Louding Voice dramatizes life among rich and poor in Nigeria and the impacts on an intelligent, well-meaning, but exploited girl.

Really enjoyed the reading
Revisado: 06-07-23
I listened to the complete collection and loved everything but the last couple stories in the final book. One odd thing is that it wasn’t edited well in places. The reader can be heard speaking lines twice or even more times.

Regarded as one of her country's foremost voices, Irish author Anne Enright makes a fresh mark on a rich literary tradition. The Gathering is a deeply insightful family saga, steeped in secrets and intrigue, unfolding over three generations.

Do Not Judge This Book Until You Are Far Along
Revisado: 03-31-23
The Gathering, by Anne Enright is a masterpiece. But I would not have said that until I got to about two-thirds through the novel. From that point onward I was in awe of its genius. It weaves together its different plot strands with an incredibly deft touch and piercing insights. The narrator, Veronica, is cynical and scathing at times, but she also is full of tenderness and compassion, as well as wit, a sense of irony, and, at times, well-earned humor. Some fine modern novels have relatively weaker endings, but it is the opposite with The Gathering, whose ending cascades over us over numerous beautiful, painful, and uplifting chapters.
