223,95 kr. Carmel had been alone all her life. She had been alone since she was twelve years old. The baby knew all this. They looked at each other; one life into another life, and the baby knew exactly how alone her mother had been.Nell - funny, brave and so much loved - 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, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions.This is a meditation on love: spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual or genetic. A generational saga that traces the inheritance not just of trauma but also of wonder, it is a testament to the glorious resilience of women in the face of promises false and true. Above all, it is an exploration of the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.

94,95 kr. Sammenkomsten er en familiesaga af den mere barske slags. Romanen foregår hhv. i Irland og England og skildrer en irsk familie gennem tre generationer. Titlen refererer til det møde mellem de forskellige familiemedlemmer, der finder sted i anledning af et dødsfald og en begravelse. Liam Hegarty var alkoholiker og begik selvmord i havet ud for Brighton. Hans mor og hans ni efterladte søskende samles i Dublin for at sørge over ham. Fortælleren er hans søster Veronica på 39 år, som er den i søskendeflokken, der stod ham nærmest. Opholdet i Dublin giver hende anledning til at gennemgå familiens turbulente historie i et forsøg på at forstå Liams død. Han døde af druk, ja, men hvorfor drak han? Veronica er overbevist om, at grunden til hans alkoholisme skal findes i hændelser fra barndommen, nærmere bestemt noget der skete, da hun og Liam en overgang boede hos deres bedstemor i 1968. Sammenkomsten er en klog og indsigtsfuld fortælling om familien og alt det gode og onde, den kan rumme. Anne Enright har selv karakteriseret romanen som "...det intellektuelle sidestykke til en Hollywood-tåreperser." Anne Enright (1962) debuterede med sin første roman,The Wig My Father Wore, i 1995. The Gathering er hendes fjerde roman, og hendes første på dansk, og i oktober 2007 fik hun Man Booker-prisen for den. Forfatterskabet er et af de vigtige og vægtige i moderne irsk litteratur, og Anne Enright er bl.a. kendt og berømmet for sit altid skarpe - og ærlige - blik på mennesker og relationerne mellem dem.
