The Wren, The Wren

Reviews / Votes

The Wren, The Wren is a magnificent novel. Anne Enright's stylistic brilliance seems to put the reader directly in touch with her characters and the rich territory of their lives -- Sally Rooney, author of NORMAL PEOPLE The Wren, The Wren may be her best book yet * Guardian, *Books of the Year* * Wonderful... This deceptively modest novel is the kind of book that will work on you long after you have put it down * Sunday Times, *Books of the Year* * These pages practically crackle with intelligence, compassion and wit. Phil McDaragh is so real I almost googled him. The Wren, The Wren might just be Anne Enright's best yet -- Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses Anne Enright's The Wren, The Wren is so good they named it twice, so good I read it twice - and read two different novels, because moral positions are incorrigibly plural in Enrightville * Observer, *Books of the Year* * Gritty, sad, sly, riotous... Gem-packed language that fizzes like a sidewalk firecracker. A must-read -- Margaret Atwood, author of THE HANDMAID'S TALE (via Twitter) The Wren, The Wren is Anne Enright at her lyrical, storytelling best -- Nicola Sturgeon * New Statesman, *Books of the Year* * This is the golden age of Irish prose fiction. Of our many prodigiously talented novelist, few have the all-encompassing deftness of touch of Anne Enright * Times Literary Supplement, *Books of the Year* * One of my books of any year. It's about womanhood, youth and that slow, painful, but joyous estrangement that emerges between mother and daughter as life runs its tumultuous course -- Michael Magee * Observer, *Books of the Year* * A work of astounding ventriloquism and hard-won hope about women's lives * Times Literary Supplement, *Books of the Year* *
