One of the most accomplished Irish literary stylists of her generation. To read Anne Enright is to be enthralled and moved
Joseph O'Connor
Enthralling... Reckless intelligence, savage humour, slow revelation, no consolation: Anne Enright's fiction is jet dark - but how it glitters
New York Times Book Review
Shockingly beautiful and painfully funny
Observer
This short story collection gives those new to her oeuvre a chance to delve into gems from her past...precociously vibrant
Melissa McClements, Financial Times
Every one of these stories takes you to a place you might rather not be in, but which you are drawn in to explore, allured by their dark brilliance
Hermione Lee, Guardian
She's a sphinx, an alchemist, a literary witch who sticks a spell on you. Angela Carter and Ali Smith can do this too.... buy it, read it, it isn't realism, it's music
Scotsman
The quality of the writing should help to explain Enright's having won the 2007 Man Booker Prize ... single lines and paragraphs are so well crafted, with such salty, pleasantly brutal sensibility, that these stories function like beguiling advertisements for Enright's novels. After sampling Taking Pictures, those who, like me, have not yet read The Gathering will likely move her Man Booker winner nearer to the top of the pile beside the bed
Lionel Shriver, Daily Telegraph
At the top of her form, she is remarkable
Jane Shilling, The Times
Enright deals beautifully with the modern world ... blood, guts, and heart-stopping beauty
Independent
Dazzling ...These narrative snapshots are skilfully framed and in-focus, the language forthright and fresh
Time Out
Enright writes beautifully about the distance of desire
Financial Times
