THE GREEN ROAD - Anne Enright
Hannah, Dan, Constance and Emmet Madigan return to spend one last Christmas with their mother Rosaleen in their family home on the west coast of Ireland before the house is sold. Their reunion forces them to confront the weight of family ties and the road that brought them home,
The cover photograph was uncovered by our picture researcher in a pile of negatives of old family photographs kept in her attic, and she was able to make a print in the dark room. Then with some creative Photoshop by the designer the photograph was edited to achieve the right combination of children to match the Madigan siblings. The final touch was to add some colour.
Anne Enright’s bold and often painfully funny novel is published now in Vintage paperback.
