While exploring the peculiar family dynamics among a narcissistic Irish matriarch and her children, Anne Enright also tackles the AIDS epidemic in New York City's East Village, charity work in Africa, suburban ennui and an actress's alcoholic response to motherhood with equal insight. Extra credit for capturing the raw physicality of gay sex better than any other female writer I've read (looking at you Hanya Yanagihara and Rebecca Makkai).
