She has published two books of stories, collected as Yesterday’s Weather, and the internationally acclaimed novel The Forgotten Waltz, which was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Enright presents her latest novel, The Green Road, a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion—a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them.

House Dreams is a haunting sample of the life we all live underground, and a view beneath the foundations of the various eras and places that make up one woman’s life story.
