Anne Enright was born in Dublin, where she now lives and works. She has written two collections of stories, published together as Yesterday's Weather, one book of non-fiction, Making Babies, and seven novels, including The Gathering, which won the 2007 Man Booker Prize, The Forgotten Waltz, which was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and The Green Road, which was the Bord Gais Energy Novel of the Year and won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award. In 2015 she was appointed as the first Laureate for Irish Fiction, and in 2018 she received the Irish PEN Award for Outstanding Contribution to Irish Literature. She is also the recipient of the 2022 Irish Book Awards Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2024 Writers' Prize for Fiction.
Confirms her as one of the most significant writers of her
generation.... A master. She has certainly produced a masterly
work.
*Sunday Times*
The Green Road is true and rueful, as terribly adult in its clarity
as its battered Madigans.
*New Yorker*
Enright is a shape-shifter who gets into the nerve centres of her
creations; the power of her prose lies in its absence of ego. The
Green Road is a devastating novel about home and how savage a place
it can be.
*New Statesman*
This novel should confirm Enright’s status as one of our (their?)
greatest living novelists. I hope she can be persuaded to do a
sequel.
*The Times*
[A] brilliant, devastating, radical novel.
*Guardian*
