ACTRESS – ANNE ENRIGHT (JONATHAN CAPE)

Date: February 27, 2020 - BooksReviews

ANNE ENRIGHT’S surprisingly laboured seventh novel tells the story of Norah FitzMaurice, a middle-aged novelist trying to make sense of her famous mother’s life.

HAVING ADMIRED the wily John Banville’s hype offensive for his latest buke, The Secret Guests, Goldhawk could not resist giving it the once over – and what a rewarding experience it proved.
