#1 Anne Enright - ‘The Green Road’ (2015)

A splintered family comes home from near and far for Christmas. I found each member endearing for very different reasons; any irritation I felt in moments was the kind one feels for people one actually cares about. Enright has the great quality of inspiring sympathy for her creations while holding them to account. A chapter set during New York’s AIDS crisis was heart-twisting. Irish Laureate.

4.5 stars
