...and the Man Booker Prize 2007 went to the Irish author Anne Enright, for The Gathering.
I quote the site: "The Gathering is a family epic. It is also a sexual history: tracing the line of hurt and redemption through three generations – starting with the grandmother, Ada Merriman – showing how memories warp and family secrets fester. This is a novel about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire, and how our fate is written in the body, not in the stars."
This makes me think of Joyce Carol Oates and her Rape: a Love Story. Must read. The Gathering.
