Anne Enright's "Actress:" A Daughter’s Search to Understand Her Mother’s Hidden Truths

Anne Enright is the Irish writer of over 12 books. Her latest novel is called Actress. The book is a mixture of novel and memoir and the story switches back and forth between the life and career of Katherine O’Dell --a fictitious Irish theater legend and her daughter Norah who retraces her mother’s celebrated career and bohemian life, and delves into long-kept secrets, both her mother’s and her own. Actress is a character study about the freedom we find in our work and in the love we make and keep.
