Anne Enright – The Wren, The Wren (2023). Novel about three generations of difficult relationships in an Irish family: Phil McDaragh (a celebrated poet), Carmel (his daughter) and Nell (his troubled granddaughter). It’s perceptive and beautifully written, with flashes of deadpan humour. #AnneEnright

‘And why was there no one to love her? She was a small thing under a big sky, and being tiny was not the same as being dead. It was quite the opposite. Rosaleen spread her arms wide and flung her face up.
‘Hah!’ she said.’ (p. 260)

This line from Anne Enright's novel *The Wren, the Wren* made me laugh out loud: "I never tell my mother anything. I am not that stupid."

Am listening to Anne Enright’s interviews and her talks on craft, on my walks this week - her lecture ‘The Genesis of Blame’ is genius, hilarious and very #AnneEnright, loved it!

Day 15 and Mel is back again with a book so good they names it twice. #AnneEnright with #TheWrenTheWren from @vintagebooks.bsky.social Moving and beautiful!! A triumph.

Beyond brilliant #thewren #anneenright
Poetry, gutting reality, raw emotions, characters who feel real & flawed & vulnerable.
I’ve never posted *trigger warning* before but there are a couple here - v hard to read scenes, yet, I feel necessary & full of purpose.
Deserves all the accolades.

I’ve given up on #Butter for the moment as THIS has just arrived! #thewren #anneenright
