Our own Anne Enright is on the Orange Prize longlist for her Man Booker winning novel The Gathering and I am delighted for her. I loved it, but I've yet to meet another reader (in person) who shares my enthusiasm.
This is the thirteenth year of the prize; the shortlist is announced in April, the winner in early June. Maybe it'll be lucky No. 13 for Anne. Here's hoping! See the rest of the longlist here:

I adored 'The Gathering' but don't think I've met anyone else who has read it not to mention loved it. Obviously not hanging out with the right people :-)
