Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Shortlisted for the 2015 Costa Novel Award.
Longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize.
One of The Guardian's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.
A book about family, selfishness and compassion on Ireland's Atlantic coast, from the Booker Prize-winner.
Hanna, Dan, Constance and Emmet return to the west coast of Ireland for a final family Christmas in the home their mother is about to sell. As the feast turns to near painful comedy, a last, desperate act from Rosaleen - a woman who doesn't quite know how to love her own children - forces them to confront the weight of family ties and the road that brought them home.

Critic Reviews
The Green Road is true and rueful, as terribly adult in its clarity as its battered Madigans. (James Wood)
Enright is a shape-shifter who gets into the nerve centres of her creations; the power of her prose lies in its absence of ego. The Green Road is a devastating novel about home and how savage a place it can be. (Frances Wilson)
This novel should confirm Enright’s status as one of our (their?) greatest living novelists. I hope she can be persuaded to do a sequel. (John Sutherland)
