A review by coffeeneur
Actress by Anne Enright

4.25

What a treat, Anne Enright's own narration of this book! Picked this up from the library after listening to her on a podcast, and I found the observations about women and men (and the everyday horrors men are capable of) so well told. Enright captures the mother-daughter relationship well. In the end, compassion wins the day. I like how this book is structured around the protagonist's recollections of her mother, the way the public viewed her over time, and it also had a few creative plot twists that kept me engrossed throughout.
