The Wren, The Wren

The Wren, The Wren may be her best book yet

Guardian, *Books of the Year*

Wonderful… This deceptively modest novel is the kind of book that will work on you long after you have put it down

Sunday Times, *Books of the Year*

These pages practically crackle with intelligence, compassion and wit. Phil McDaragh is so real I almost googled him. The Wren, The Wren might just be Anne Enright's best yet

Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses

Anne Enright’s The Wren, The Wren is so good they named it twice, so good I read it twice – and read two different novels, because moral positions are incorrigibly plural in Enrightville

Observer, *Books of the Year*

Gritty, sad, sly, riotous... Gem-packed language that fizzes like a sidewalk firecracker. A must-read

Margaret Atwood, author of THE HANDMAID'S TALE (via Twitter)

The Wren, The Wren is Anne Enright at her lyrical, storytelling best

Nicola Sturgeon, New Statesman, *Books of the Year*

This is the golden age of Irish prose fiction. Of our many prodigiously talented novelist, few have the all-encompassing deftness of touch of Anne Enright

Times Literary Supplement, *Books of the Year*

One of my books of any year. It’s about womanhood, youth and that slow, painful, but joyous estrangement that emerges between mother and daughter as life runs its tumultuous course

Michael Magee, Observer, *Books of the Year*

A work of astounding ventriloquism and hard-won hope about women’s lives
