'Witty, original, inventive...utterly compelling' Daily Mail Winner
of the Man Booker Prize The nine surviving children of the Hegarty
clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam.
It wasn't the drink that killed him - although that certainly
helped - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's
house, in the winter of 1968. The Gathering 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. 'It is
clearly the product of a remarkable intelligence, combined with a
gift for observation and deduction' A.L. Kennedy, Guardian
