Anne Enright (North Cornwall Book Festival 2024)
Festival Marquee
Saturday 28 September, 4pm
£10
Anne Enright pays her second visit to the festival to talk with publisher, Lennie Goodings, about her new novel
The Wren, The Wren.
Generous queen of the Dublin literary scene, Anne Enright won the Man Booker in 2007 with her fourth novel
The Gathering and Irish Novel of the Year in 2015 with
The Green Road. Anne is a mistress of painfully honest comedy, delineating the ambiguities and shifting alliances of family life like no other.
Shortlisted for this year’s Women’s Prize,
The Wren, The Wren, is a devastating, brutally funny portrayal of the damage and aftershocks inflicted on three generations of women when a poet walks out on his dying wife to become a national treasure.
