Description
In Anne Enright's latest novel, the lives of Carmel McDaragh and her daughter Nell are inextricably linked by the imposing legacy of Carmel's father, a celebrated Irish poet. This is a story woven through generations, exploring familial bonds defined by absence and the search for individual identity. As Nell, a restless twenty-two-year-old, leaves her mother's home to forge her own path as a writer, she grapples with the echoes of her grandfather's fame and the complex relationships that have shaped her. Enright masterfully navigates themes of inheritance, ambition, and the enduring power of words, creating a poignant portrait of women seeking their voices in the shadow of giants.
