Anita Anand speaks to award winning novelist Anne Enright. She was catapulted onto the international stage in 2007 when she was the surprise winner of the Man Booker Prize for her fourth novel The Gathering. Since then she has continued to rise and rise - this year becoming Ireland鈥檚 first ever Laureate for Fiction. Witty, warm, yet at the same time ascorbic acerbic (presumably) and brutal in her writing, she rips up the rule book, crocheting with complicated timelines and weaving in and out of the secrets of her protagonists. She speaks to Anita Anand about the themes in her work - love, sex, secrets and Ireland's tumultuous history.
