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.
The novel is a saga about an Irish family set in Ireland and England.It begins with the suicide of Liam Hegarty. His family gather in Dublin for his wake. Liam's sister Veronica, the novel's narrator, looks through her family's history to try and make sense of his death. In the process she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her family.

評分這本在Goodreads上有一萬多的平均隻有三星的作品在豆瓣上確大受好評。聽瞭三分之一,棄之。感覺有點太散漫瞭。說直白一些,就是沒有寫到我的心上。
