Anne Enright’s Booker Prize-winning novel explores the intricate, often painful architecture of the Hegarty family following the suicide of a brother. Through the fragmented perspective of Veronica Hegarty, the narrative delves into the unreliable nature of memory and the long-reaching shadows of childhood trauma. It is a stark, lyrical examination of how the past persists within the present, forcing a reckoning with buried secrets and the complexities of familial bonds.
