The Wren, The Wren Summary

The Wren, The Wren: The Booker Prize-winning author by Anne Enright

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024
WINNER OF THE WRITERS PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024

Carmel had been alone all her life. The baby knew this. They looked at each other, and all of time was there. The baby knew how vast her mother's loneliness had been.

A magnificent novel SALLY ROONEY

Nell is a young woman with adventure on her mind. As she sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nells leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. Over them both falls the long shadow of Carmels famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions.

From our greatest chronicler of family life, The Wren, The Wren is a story of the love that can unite us, and the individual acts that threaten this vital bond.

The Wren, The Wren Reviews

The Wren, The Wren is a magnificent novel. Anne Enright's stylistic brilliance seems to put the reader directly in touch with her characters and the rich territory of their lives -- Sally Rooney, author of NORMAL PEOPLE
The Wren, The Wren may be her best book yet * Guardian, *Books of the Year* *
Wonderful This deceptively modest novel is the kind of book that will work on you long after you have put it down * Sunday Times, *Books of the Year* *
These pages practically crackle with intelligence, compassion and wit. Phil McDaragh is so real I almost googled him. The Wren, The Wren might just be Anne Enright's best yet -- Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
Anne Enrights The Wren, The Wren is so good they named it twice, so good I read it twice and read two different novels, because moral positions are incorrigibly plural in Enrightville * Observer, *Books of the Year* *
