Wolfwren Week 2023: Day 1
Anne Enright’s latest novel and the graphic design of the US edition (September 2023) by Keith Hayes partly inspired these compositions. I mean there’s three wrens on that cover and one is purple. The fluorescent yellow pickup I love too.
In my edits I’m momentarily obsessed with the Shin tilt of the uppercase “W” in the typeface Formula Condensed, and the way it propels the words Wolf and Wren forward.
I’m trying to get something out for at least 3 of the 5 days (The AU prompts for Day 5 aren’t really on here).

“We don't walk down the same street as the person walking beside us. All we can do is tell the other person what we see. We can point at things and try to name them. If we do this well, our friend can look at the world in a new way. We can meet.”
Anne Enright, “The Wren, The Wren”

Nell - funny, brave and so much loved - is a young woman with adventure on her mind. As she sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions.
This is a meditation on love: spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual or genetic. A generational saga that traces the inheritance not just of trauma but also of wonder, it is a testament to the glorious resilience of women in the face of promises false and true. Above all, it is an exploration of the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.

This is a roundabout way of saying that I fell in love when I was twenty-two years of age, and it was a complete surprise. As if this tender beast had been inside me all along, kicking and turning, and I had not known it was there.

Another five star read, I’m on a really good run at the moment! Next up is The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff, I haven’t read anything of hers since Fates and Furies, which I loved, and her recent career seems very different, so let’s see!

This is so exactly like something I might say, I pause to remember if I really did say it once, and I laugh out loud into the silence. The connection between us is more than a strand of DNA, it is a rope thrown from the past, a fat twisted rope, full of blood.

Anne Enright || The Wren, The Wren
Longlist The Wren, The Wren is a novel about family relationships, a mother-daughter relationship to be more specific. In her novel Enright introduces us to mother Carmel and daughter Nell. Through them we learn about the ways family patterns are born and consolidated. Enright shows us how we are all caught in family, in both a positive and negative way. At first I found it difficult to get…
