Vogelkind
Anne Enrights 'bislang bester Roman' (The Irish Times) über zwei Frauen und ihre Reise zu sich selbstDie junge Irin Nell verdient ihr Geld mit dem Schreiben von Reiseberichten über Orte, an denen sie nie war. Denn Nell hat Fantasie, und das Schreiben ist ihr Leben. Ihren Großvater, den berühmten Dichter Phil McDaragh, hat sie nie kennengelernt, aber seine Verse sprechen intensiv zu ihr. Auch Nells Mutter Carmel kennt diese Verse gut. Lange hat sie sich vergeblich bemüht, das Image des Dichters und seine Lyrik mit ihren Erinnerungen an den Vater zusammenzubringen. Nun ist es an Nell, um die Versöhnung zu kämpfen, die ihrer Mutter versagt blieb. So zärtlich wie wahrhaftig erzählt Anne Enright in ihrem berührenden Familienroman von vererbten Wunden und der tröstlichen Kraft der Poesie. 'Ein großartiger Roman.' Sally Rooney
