A book about family, selfishness and compassion on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, from the Booker Prize-winner.
Hanna, Dan, Constance and Emmet return to the west coast of Ireland for a final family Christmas in the home their mother is about to sell. As the feast turns to near painful comedy, a last, desperate act from Rosaleen – a woman who doesn't quite know how to love her own children – forces them to confront the weight of family ties and the road that brought them home.

An incandescent novel from one of our greatest living novelists (The Times) about the inheritance of trauma, wonder, and love across three generations of women.

Nell McDaragh never knew her grandfather, the famed Irish poet Phil McDaragh. But his love poems seem to speak directly to her. Restless, full of verve and wit, twenty-two-year-old Nell leaves her mother Carmel’s home to find her voice as a writer and live a life of her choosing. Carmel, too, knows the magic of her Daddo’s poetry—and the broken promises within its verses. When Phil abandons the family, Carmel struggles to reconcile “the poet” with the man whose desertion scars Carmel, her sister, and their cancer-ridden mother.

The Wren, the Wren brings to life three generations of women who contend with inheritances—of abandonment and of sustaining love that is “more than a strand of DNA, but a rope thrown from the past, a fat twisted rope, full of blood.” In sharp prose studded with crystalline poetry, Anne Enright masterfully braids a family story of longing, betrayal, and hope.

Личная жизнь легенды ирландской сцены Кэтрин О’Делл сама по себе была грандиозным театральным представлением, за которым ее дочь, Нора, наблюдала из-за кулис. И на сцене, и в жизни мать всегда оставалась для неё загадкой.

…Спустя годы Нора пишет книгу воспоминаний, в которой пытается понять обожаемую публикой актрису, покорившую театральные подмостки Лондона и Нью-Йорка. Женщину, полностью посвятившую себя искусству и мужчинам. Мать, так никогда и не назвавшую дочери имя ее отца.

«Актриса» – глубокое исследование той сложной гаммы чувств, которую переживают дети выдающихся родителей: боль от необходимости делить мать с толпой и обязанность восхищаться ею издалека. (Наталья Ломыкина, литературный обозреватель Forbes)

Babies: our biggest mystery and our most natural consequence, our hardest test and our enduring love. Anne Enright describes the intensity, bewilderment and extravagant happiness of her experience of having babies, from the exhaustion of early pregnancy to first smiles and becoming acquainted with the long reaches of the night. Everyone, from parents to the mildly curious, can delight in Enright’s funny, eloquent and unsentimental account of having babies.
Selected from the book Making Babies by Anne Enright

Отзывы
О славе и ее разрушительной силе, о непростых отношениях знаменитой матери и «обычной» дочери и о том, что главное в этой жизни – понимать друг друга.
New York Times
Энрайт, сама бывшая актриса, тонко чувствует и мастерски описывает пафос и комизм актерской жизни – призрачной, иллюзорной, будто ненастоящей.
Sunday Express
Начисто лишенная сентиментальности, но удивительно позитивная, вдохновляющая история о женских созидательности, смелости, способности любить и жизненной силе.

A darkly glinting novel set on Ireland's Atlantic coast, "The Green Road" is a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion - a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them. The children of Rosaleen Madigan leave the west of Ireland for lives they never could have imagined in Dublin, New York and various third-world towns. In her early old age their difficult, wonderful mother announces that she's decided to sell the house and divide the proceeds. Her adult children come back for a last Christmas, with the feeling that their childhoods are being erased, their personal history bought and sold. Anne Enright is addicted to the truth of things. Sentence by sentence, there are few writers alive who can invest the language with such torque and gleam, such wit and longing - who can write dialogue that speaks itself aloud, who can show us the million splinters of her characters' lives then pull them back up together again, into a perfect glass.
