The Gathering is a novel by the Irish author Anne Enright. It is Enright's fourth book. It won the 2007 Man Booker Prize. It had been an outsider to win the prize, but was eventually chosen unanimously.

不敢说我看懂了这本书,但我却真的努力去看,去弄明白:这是怎样一个故事?主人公到底想说什么? 英国人的思维很有特点,很直白,到了粗暴的地步。经常让人措手不及吓一跳。但却又让人不得不佩服他的深刻。家的温情(如果说还有的话)隐隐显现在无情之中,需要人们去找。

评分A dark and fragmentary record about family, past trauma and death; the book is about delving into the dark past and seeking reconciliation with it. It's sanity and madness, devastation and redemption, opening a wound and healing it all at the same time.It's a rich book. I have to confess that much of its content is beyond my understanding.
评分这本在Goodreads上有一万多的平均只有三星的作品在豆瓣上确大受好评。听了三分之一,弃之。感觉有点太散漫了。说直白一些,就是没有写到我的心上。
