The Wren, The Wren

The Wren, The Wren

You can hear the melodic Irish accents singing off the page in this master piece of a book where three generations of women knowingly and unknowingly deal with the abandonment of one man, a once-famous poet, Phil McDaragh. He was husband to Terry, father of Carmel, and grandfather to Nell. The poet deserted the family in search of fame, and the aftershocks reverberated through the generations. The voices of these women are coming from the master of the game, Anne Enright, one of our greatest living novelists, who won the Booker Prize for this little number, so you must read it!
