  • "The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. This is a novel about how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars."@en
  • ""The Gathering is a family epic, condensed and clarified through the remarkable lens of Anne Enright's unblinking eye. It is also a sexual history: tracing the line of hurt and redemption through three generations - starting with grandmother, Ada Merriman - showing how memories warp and family secrets fester. This is a novel about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire, and how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars." From the bookjacket."@en

  • "Die Gewinnerin des Booker-Preises 2007! Der Hegarty-Clan versammelt sich in Dublin, um Liam, das schwarze Schaf der Familie, zu Grabe zu tragen? doch schnell gerät der Anlass zur Nebensache. Nur Veronica wagt es, nach den Umständen zu fragen, die ihren Bruder in den Tod getrieben haben mögen. Ein beeindruckend intensiver Roman über die Frage nach Schuld und Verantwortung, nach der Liebe und ihren Folgen. Als Kinder haben sie sich stets alle Geheimnisse anvertraut, und auch als Erwachsene sind Veronica und ihr Bruder Liam noch immer aufs Engste miteinander verbunden. Doch dann stürzt Liam sich mit Steinen in den Hosentaschen ins Meer, und Veronica bleibt allein zurück mit der Frage nach dem Warum. Während sie im Dubliner Elternhaus die Beerdigung vorbereitet, überwältigen sie die Erinnerungen an ihre Kindheit, an ihre Großmutter, die aus Vernunftgründen auf die Liebe ihres Lebens verzichtete, an ihre Mutter, die sich nach den vielen Geburten und Fehlgeburten nicht einmal die Namen all ihrer Kinder merken konnte. Und an jenen Tag, an dem ihrem Bruder Liam, gerade neun Jahre alt, etwas angetan wurde, vor dem sie ihn hätte beschützen müssen. Ein bewegender Roman, dessen sprachliche Finesse und eindrucksvolle Bildlichkeit einen bisher ungekannten Blick auf das verletzliche Wesen der menschlichen Seele zu werfen vermag."
