The Green Road by Anne Enright
5.0
An amazingly written, brilliantly told story that leaves you at times simply devasted.
Anne Enright is a stunning storyteller. This book had been recommended to me, but I was not prepared of how wonderful it would be.
The book is divided into two parts, the first consisting of chapters each letting us get to know the characters. Skillfully crafted! Basically in the first part, every chapter could easily stand alone and work as a intriguing short story.
In the second part of the book all these characters come together for what is called a "one last christmas in the old family home" where the mother of the dysfunctional family wants to reunited one last time all her children. What follows is a brutal and clear look at a family's innerworkings.
Anne Enright created a wonderful piece of literature with this book. I highly recommend "The Green Road", it is the best book I read in years!!
