**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

A book about family, selfishness and compassion on Ireland's Atlantic coast, from the Booker Prize-winner.

Hanna, Dan, Constance and Emmet return to the west coast of Ireland for a final family Christmas in the home their mother is about to sell. As the feast turns to near painful comedy, a last, desperate act from Rosaleen - a woman who doesn't quite know how to love her own children - forces them to confront the weight of family ties and the road that brought them home.

Kritikerstimmen

Confirms her as one of the most significant writers of her generation.... A master. She has certainly produced a masterly work.
The Green Road is true and rueful, as terribly adult in its clarity as its battered Madigans. (James Wood)
Enright is a shape-shifter who gets into the nerve centres of her creations; the power of her prose lies in its absence of ego. The Green Road is a devastating novel about home and how savage a place it can be. (Frances Wilson)
This novel should confirm Enright’s status as one of our (their?) greatest living novelists. I hope she can be persuaded to do a sequel. (John Sutherland)
[A] brilliant, devastating, radical novel. (Kate Clanchy)
‘[Enright] is that rare thing: a very, very good writer… I settled into the book in a way I hadn’t done for weeks; the world of it seemed to me more transfixingly real than anything else, for the time I was reading it. When a writer of Enright’s quality pays such attention to the way that things really are, all we can do is pay rapt attention back. (Emma Townshend)
Enright has written yet another wise and sophisticated novel... Simple and brilliant. You can’t even really call this ‘brave’ writing, because what makes Enright so good is the feeling that she was never afraid in the first place (Claire Lowdon)
Superb. (Terry Eagleton)
An intense and thought-provoking read about family, behaviour and consequences… Will resonate long after the final page. (Jacqueline Kilikita)
Enright is a writer with a wonderful and enviable lightness of touch… This is a wholly delightful novel, and a wise one. (Allan Massie)
