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 ...

Stephen was a bridge-builder in Canada before he killed himself, but now that he has come to stay with Grace he spends the night hanging by the neck in her shower, to help himself think. Needless, to say, she falls in love, moving steadily from the spiritual to the anatomical. Meanwhile as her TV day job on the 'Love Quiz' begins to spiral out of control, on the other side of her life is her father, benign, bewigged and stricken by a stroke -apparently mad but probably the sanest person in her life. As the three worlds meet and merge in a forest of contradictions, we watch Grace take the pacific path from cynicism to innocence, as all around her the novel thinders to a conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anne-enright-books\"\u003eAnne Enright\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minerva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780749397159\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Minerva","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47913832218801,"sku":"SB-0749397152-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0749397152.jpg?v=1789162053"},{"product_id":"the-green-road","title":"The Green Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the Booker Award-winning and bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gathering\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Road\u003c\/i\u003e is Anne Enright's virtuoso new novel, her most compelling and powerful to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA darkly glinting novel set mainly in a small town on Ireland's Atlantic coast, \u003ci\u003eThe Green Road\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion—a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe children of Rosaleen Madigan grow up in the West of Ireland, in a world that is about to change.
