Actress by Anne Enright

Katherine O’Dell is one of Ireland’s most famous actresses, but her secret is that she’s not really Irish. O’Dell’s career, decline, and other secrets are examined by her only daughter, Norah, in this entertaining novel by Man Booker Prize-winner Anne Enright, whose prose is sharp, merciless, and at times laugh-out-loud funny.
