Anne Enright: Flying the Nest
Anne Enright, one of Ireland’s most celebrated authors, returns to discuss her new novel, The Wren, The Wren. The possibility of freedom and the pain of separation affect mother and daughter differently when Carmel watches Nell go out into the world. Join Enright for a brilliant meditation on love, inherited trauma, and the types of resilience women must develop to ensure more promising futures.
In conversation with Caoilinn Hughes.
