"Anne Enright höjer sig över massan av moderna relationsromaner." DN
"Gärdsmygen är en magnifik roman" Sally Rooney
Nell McDaragh kände aldrig sin morfar, den berömda poeten Phil McDaragh. Men hans dikter tycks tala direkt till henne. Impulsiv, rastlös, och självsäker på ett sätt som man bara kan vara om man är tjugotvå, lämnar Nell sitt barndomshem för att leva en liv på egna premisser i Dublin. Här ska hon leva ett bohemiskt och hitta till sin egen röst som författare. Hon festar, trasslar in sig i destruktiva romanser och får snart jobb som spökskrivare till en känd influenser.
Nells mamma Carmen hamnar i existentiell kris när hennes dotter lämnar hemmet och hemsöks av sitt förlutna. Över hela familjen McDaragh vilar en skugga av Carmens far Phil - geniet, poeten, skojaren och förföraren. Mannen som var expert på vackra ord, men som på hemmaplan var en självupptagen mobbare av rang och som en gång lämnade sin cancersjuka fru med två små barn - Carmen och hennes syster.
Gärdsmygen handlar om tre generationer kvinnor i familjen McDaragh, tre kvinnor som alla försöker försonas eller göra upp med det avgrundsdjupa hål av förlust och ilska som den självupptagna Phil McDaragh grävt i deras familj. Det är sorgligt, humoristiskt och skarpt. Gärsmygen är en underbar roman om att ärva erfarenhet av förlust, trauma och överlevnadsinstinkt. Men det är också en berättlese om hur vi kan laga varandra, om alla de band som trots allt binder familjen McDaragh samman.

'Shockingly beautiful and painfully funny' ObserverA pregnant woman is stuck in a slow lift with a tactile American stranger. A naked mother changes a nappy in a hotel bedroom and waits for her husband to come back from the bar. A woman's one night stand is illuminated by dreams of a young boy on a cliff road, another’s thwarted by a swarm of somnolent bees.These are stories of women stirred, bothered, or fascinated by men they cannot understand, or understand too well. Their characters are haunted by the ghosts of the lives they might have led - lit by new flames, old flames, and flames that are guttering out. These are sharp, vivid tales of loss and yearning, of surrender to responsibilities or to unexpected delight. All share the unsettling, dislocated reality, the subversive wit and awkward tenderness that have marked Anne Enright as one of our most thrillingly gifted writers.

'What is a really good novel like? This for a start' The TimesWhen Maria turns twenty, she falls in love. She is in the wrong town, and he is the wrong sort of man. Going through his things, she finds a photo of herself when she was twelve years old. She has the same smile, but she is wearing the wrong clothes: she is the same, only different.Anne Enright's astonishing novel moves between Dublin, New York and London, following the lives of the real Maria and the girl in the picture. Stepping through the mirror to tell the story of the two women, both haunted by their missing selves, What Are You Like? is an exquisitely written disquisition on families and identity. Threading together the lives of two young women, it confirms Anne Enright as not only the most original Irish writer of her generation, but also as one of the finest, funniest, and most affecting.

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'An unadulterated delight...suffused with a sense of love and very, very funny' Maggie O'FarrellIt's 2004 and Anne Enright, one of Ireland's most remarkable writers, has just had two babies: a girl and a boy. Making Babies, is the intimate, engaging, and very funny record of the journey from early pregnancy to age two. Written in dispatches, typed with a sleeping baby in the room, it has the rush of good news - full of the mess, the glory, and the raw shock of it all.An antidote to the high-minded, polemical 'How-to' baby manuals, Making Babies also bears a visceral and dreamlike witness to the first years of parenthood. Anne Enright wrote the truth of it as it happened, because, for these months and years, it is impossible for a woman to lie.

'Witty, original, inventive...utterly compelling' Daily MailWinner of the Man Booker PrizeThe 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.The Gathering 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.'It is clearly the product of a remarkable intelligence, combined with a gift for observation and deduction' A.L. Kennedy, Guardian

Man Booker winner Anne Enright’s moving and darkly funny debut novel of sex, death and reproductionGrace is a TV producer whose life is transfigured when she answers the door to a fully-fledged angel. Stephen was a bridge-builder in Canada before he killed himself, but now that he has come to stay with Grace he spends the night hanging by the neck in her shower, to help himself think. She falls in love, moving steadily from the spiritual to the anatomical.Meanwhile, as her TV day job on the 'Love Quiz' begins to spiral out of control, on the other side of her life is her father, benign, bewigged and stricken by a stroke - apparently mad but probably the sanest person in her life. As the three worlds meet and merge in a forest of contradictions, we watch Grace take the pacific path from cynicism to innocence, as all around her the novel thunders to a conclusion.‘Reckless intelligence, savage humour, slow revelation, no consolation: Anne Enright's fiction is jet dark - but how it glitters’ New York Times Book Review

Lyrical, dark, comic or iconoclastic, the Irish short story has always punched well above its weight. Anne Enright has brought together a dazzling collection of Irish stories by authors born in the twentieth century - from Mary Lavin and Frank O'Connor to Claire Keegan and Kevin Barry. With a pithy and passionate introduction by Enright, The Granta Book of the Irish Short Story traces this great tradition through decades of social change and shows the pleasure Irish writers continue to take in the short-story form. Deft and often devastating, the short story dodges the rolling mythologies of of Irish life to produce truths that are delightful and real. Also includes stories by: Maeve Brennan, Roddy Doyle, Mary Lavin, Colum McCann, William Trevor, John McGahern, Colm Tóibín, Claire Keegan and Kevin Barry.

In three urgent pieces of non-fiction Anne Enright explores speech and silence in the lives of Irish women: the long silence surrounding the Mother and Baby home in Tuam which was broken by the voice of Catherine Corless, the silence of Irish literary critics in response to work by women, and the reclaimed voice of the Irish writer Maeve Brennan. The short story form is celebrated with two new pieces of writing, and a biographical piece looks at the role of Canadian fiction in her reading life.
