A remarkable family epic, which won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. The 9 surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather together in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. Slowly, the memories and secrets of 3 generations unravel, and sexual histories are revealed. Combining the lyricism of the old Irish literary tradition with the shock of the new, this is a book of daring, wit and insight. 'She beautifully describes the way hurt can be inherited... Enright is a daring writer - witty, original and inventive...' Eithne Farry, }Daily Mail{
