The Gathering Review
The Gathering, the book is very interesting for the people who loves emotions, tragedy. The narrator in Anne Enrights THE GATHERING Veronica "an ugly enough thing I had always thought", Hegarty is one of nine surviving children out of twelve with seven miscarriages of a large Irish family.
Liam, the closest sibling to her, both in age he is eleven months older and in affection, has died. She has the sad task of making all the burial arrangements that include telling their frail, aged mother. The surviving members of this wildly dysfunctional clan meet for a wake which is the title of the book "The gathering" so realistic that it will break your heart.
The book really fulfils the need of emotional or tragediel interests of the readers.
