Anne Enright is one of the most exciting writers of Ireland's
younger generation, a beguiling storyteller The Seattle Times has
praised for the ... way she writes about women ...their adventures
to know who they are through sex, despair, wit and single-minded
courage. In What Are You Like?, Maria Delahunty, raised by her
grieving father after her mother died during childbirth, finds
herself in her twenties awash in nameless longing and in love with
the wrong man. Going through his things, she finds a photograph
that will end up unraveling a secret more devastating than her
father's long mourning, but more pregnant with possibility. Moving
between Dublin, New York, and London, What Are You Like? is a
breathtaking novel of twins and irretrievable losses, of a woman
haunted by her missing self, and of our helplessness against our
fierce connection to our origins. What Are You Like? has been
selected as a finalist for the Whitbread Award. It is a novel,
Newsday wrote, that announces [Enright's] excellence as though it
were stamped on the cover in boldface. Richly descriptive ...
Slightly surreal, revelatory images are hallmarks of Enright's
writing, which beguiles throughout. -- Melanie Rehak, US Weekly
Cool, wicked, and quintessentially Irish ... Anne Enright tells a
sharp, stylish tale in an accent all her own. -- Annabel Lyon, The
National Post (Toronto)
