Recensione:

Stunning The book’s narrative tone echoes Joan Didion’s furious, cool grief, but the richest comparison may be with James Joyce’s Dubliners.” The Washington Post

Entrancing, unflinching, and insightful. The Gathering is a haunting look at a broken family stifled by generations of hurt and disappointment, struggling to make peace with the irreparable.” Entertainment Weekly

Enright has written a wonderfully elegant and unsparing novel that takes the old Irish subjects of family dysfunction and the vagaries of memory into territory made fresh by an objectivity so precise it seems almost loving. stunning control and flawless eye.” Los Angeles Times

An unflinching look at a grieving family [a] very readable and satisfying novel.” Sir Howard Davies, Chair of Judges for the Man Booker Prize

[Enright] delivers with sharp wit and a huge heart.” Elle

Reckless intelligence, savage humor, slow revelation, no consolation: Ann Enright’s fiction is jet dark but how it glitters.” The New York Times Book Review
