    Short Description for The Gathering The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother Liam. It wasn't the drink that killed him - it was what happened to him as a boy in his grandmother's house, in the winter of 1968. This novel is about love and disappointment, about thwarted lust and limitless desire.

  • Disappointing2

    Marija Popac I had high hopes for this book and thought I would give it a go despite seeing a couple of negative reviews. I wish I had listened to them! I am not normally someone who stops reading a book, no matter how bad it is, but I came very close with this one about 4 times whilst reading it. Not only was the storyline weak and lacking anything interesting enough to make you want to keep turning the pages, but the characters were unlikable and you do not familiarise with them. It also does not really come to any real conclusions about what did and didn't happen in the childhood/life of the main characters and I was left asking myself as I turned the last page, "why did I bother"? There are points where you think the pages of tedious reading are about to be rewarded with a revealing and interesting twist to the story, but this is not in fact what happens. I would suggest giving this book a miss. by Marija Popac
