Leabhar m\u00f3r-r\u00e1chairte<\/h3>

Is d\u00f3cha gur bheag duine sa t\u00edr seo n\u00e1r chuala teacht eic\u00ed<\/span>nt thar an leabhar seo, <\/span>The Gathering<\/span><\/strong>, faoi\u2019n am seo, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed an leabhar c\u00e9anna sin i mb\u00e9al gach \u00e9inne, tamall \u00f3 shoin, tr\u00e1th rabhthas ag iarraidh teacht ar bhuaiteoir <\/span>Booker Prize<\/span><\/strong> na bliana seo, mar tharla go raibh an leabhar seo luaite ar cheann de na leabhair ar an ngearrliosta don duais ghradamach ch\u00e9anna sin. Anois, caithfear a admh\u00e1il, n\u00e1rbh \u00e9 rogha na coitiantachta \u00e9 sa choimhlint sin. B\u00edodh sin mar at\u00e1, \u00e1fach, ba \u00e9 <\/span>The Gathering, <\/span><\/strong>le<\/span> Anne Enright, <\/span><\/strong>a bh\u00ed chun tosaigh, i mbreith na mbreithi\u00fana eolgaise<\/span>acha, nuair a cuireadh ainm ar an mbuaiteoir, i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la.<\/span><\/p>

Fuair m\u00e9 \u00e9<\/h3>

Go gairid i ndiaidh roghn\u00fa an leabhair sin do dhuais mh\u00f3rluachach Booker, fuair m\u00e9, agus l\u00e9igh m\u00e9, an leabhar sin, n\u00f3 ba bhre\u00e1 liom a fh\u00e1il amach, ar chathair mar a tuairisc \u00e9. I dtosach b\u00e1ire, caithfidh m\u00e9 a r\u00e1, nach gn\u00e1thleabhar \u00e9, The Gathering, sa mh\u00e9id go su\u00edtear an sc\u00e9al ar fad, ag torramh, i gcathair Bhaile <\/span>\u00c1tha Cliath. In aigne, agus i gcuimhne, an sc\u00e9ala\u00ed, a sheolann b\u00e1d an ama, \u00f3 th\u00fas deireadh an sc\u00e9il. <\/span><\/p>

Eachtra\u00edonn Veronica <\/h3>

Tharla tr\u00ed ghl\u00fan de mhuintir U\u00ed \u00c9igeartaigh ar an bhf\u00f3d don \u00f3c\u00e1id. \u2018S\u00ed Veronica an sc\u00e9ala\u00ed, agus is tr\u00edna s\u00faile-se a thugtar l\u00e9argus d\u00fainn ar shaol agus ar shaothar; ar ghr\u00e1 agus ar fhuath; na clainne aite seo. B\u00e1s a dearth\u00e1<\/span>r, Liam, an tairne ar a gcrochann Veronica an sc\u00e9al neamhghn\u00e1ch seo. Duine ann fh\u00e9in ba ea an dearth\u00e1ir c\u00e9anna sin, \u00f3 th\u00fas, agus is in olcas a chuaigh c\u00farsa\u00ed d\u00f3, le himeacht aimsire. Ba thriobl\u00f3ideach, achrannach, an mac \u00e9, agus ar \u00f3c\u00e1id amh\u00e1in, chaith s\u00e9 scian lena Mham fh\u00e9in. B\u2019urchar iomrallach \u00e9, ach bhain an scian mant as an bhfalla taobh thiar di! T\u00e1 an cuma ar an sc\u00e9al, i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la, gur chuir s\u00e9 l\u00e1mh ina bh\u00e1s fh\u00e9in, thall i Sasana. T\u00f3gadh an corp abhaile go Baile \u00c1tha Cliath, agus ba ansin a <\/span>deineadh \u00e9 a th\u00f3rramh. Samhla\u00edtear don sc\u00e9ala\u00ed, \u00e1fach, gurbh \u00e9 ba ch\u00fais le triobl\u00f3id\u00ed Liaim n\u00f3 eachtra a tharla i bhfad roimhe sin, nuair nach raibh inti fh\u00e9in, n\u00f3 i Liam, ach p\u00e1ist\u00ed. <\/span><\/p>

Ionad Lambert sa Sc\u00e9al<\/h3>

Anois, le tos\u00fa ag an t\u00fas, t\u00f3gann an sc\u00e9ala\u00ed siar sinn, go dt\u00ed eachtra a tharla, i bhfad roimh am an sc\u00e9il seo. F\u00e9ach mar a scr\u00edobhann an t-\u00fadar ag t\u00fas Chaibidil a Tr\u00ed\u2026\u2026.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe seeds of my brother\u2019s death were sown many years ago. The person who planted them is long dead \u2013 at least that\u2019s what I think. So if I want to tell Liam\u2019s story, then I have to start long before he was born\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Eachtra\u00edonn s\u00ed ansin sc\u00e9al a seanmh\u00e1thar, ag tos\u00fa sa bhliain 1925, nuair a leag Lambert Nugent s\u00fail ar Ada Merriman a ch\u00e9aduair. Ba \u00ed Ada an tseanmh\u00e1thair sin. Is cos\u00fail gur thit Lambert i ngr\u00e1 lei, ach m\u00e1 sea fh\u00e9in, n\u00ed cos\u00fail gur thit Ada i ngr\u00e1 leis-sean, n\u00f3 ar aon n\u00f3s, n\u00edorbh eisean a ph\u00f3s s\u00ed ar ball, ach oiread, n\u00f3 ba \u00e9 Charlie Spillane a ph\u00f3s, agus a chuaigh in \u00e9int\u00edos lei. Ach d\u2019fhan Charlie d\u00edlis di feadh a shaoil, agus t\u00e1 chuile chos\u00falacht ar an sc\u00e9al, go mb\u2019fh\u00e9idir gurbh \u00e9 Lambert a ghoid a cro\u00ed, b\u00edodh n\u00e1r thr\u00e9ig s\u00ed Charlie feadh a shaoil.<\/p>

Geimhreadh na Bliana \u201968<\/h3>

Ach, le filleadh ar an ndrochthionchar a bh\u00ed ag an Lambert c\u00e9anna sin ar Liam\u2026Filleann cuimhn\u00ed \u00e1irithe, aniar as gort a h\u00f3ige, ar Veronica, cuimhn\u00ed ar rud a tharla i nGeimhreadh na bliana 1968, cuimhn\u00ed a dh\u00e9anann \u00ed a chr\u00e1, agus a chiapadh, go rialta. F\u00e9ach mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar \u00e9, ar leathanach 144, agus \u00ed ag insint faoin l\u00e1 a th\u00e1inig s\u00ed ar Lambert, agus Liam \u00f3g \u00e1 mh\u00ed-\u00fas\u00e1id aige. M\u00ed-\u00fas\u00e1id ghn\u00e9asach at\u00e1 i gceist anseo\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>

I am trying to remember what he looked like, but it is hard to reacall the face of your brother as a child. And even though I know it is true that this happened, I do not know if I have the true picture in my mind\u2019s eye -\u2026..\u201d<\/p>

Warts and all !<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Anois, n\u00ed chuireann an t-\u00fadar fiacail ann, ach leagann s\u00ed a cuimhn\u00ed ar an \u00f3c\u00e1id, go neamhbhalbh, os \u00e1r gcomhair. <\/p>

T\u00e1 an sc\u00e9ala\u00ed ag iarraidh ciall eic\u00ednt a bhaint as an tarl\u00faint sin, agus \u00ed ag iarraidh freisin, meon na beirte \u00fad, Liam agus Lambert, a thuiscint, n\u00f3 cuimhnigh nach raibh inti ag an am ach p\u00e1iste ocht mbliana d\u2019aois, agus Liam beag ina sheacht\u00fa bliain.<\/p>

Tuigtear don sc\u00e9ala\u00ed gur thiar in\u2026.<\/span><\/p>

Ada\u2019s good front room in Broadstone\u2026\u2026.<\/span><\/p>

a tharla an mh\u00ed-\u00fas\u00e1id chinni\u00fanach, ghn\u00e9asach, sin. Thuigfe\u00e1 uaithi, nach m\u00f3 na cinnte a bh\u00ed s\u00ed gur tharla, n\u00f3 gur tharla d\u00edreach mar ba chuimhin lei \u00e9. Ach, ar aon n\u00f3s, tuigtear di, gurbh \u00e9 an rud a tharla, sa good front room \u00fad, a sheol Liam ar bh\u00f3thar a aimhleasa. Dhealr\u00f3dh s\u00e9, nach raibh an t-eolas sin ag an seachtar eile de chlann U\u00ed \u00c9igeartaigh, a tharla ar an bhf\u00f3d, don t\u00f3rramh sin.<\/p>

Cuairt na gCuimhn\u00ed<\/h3>

Caitheann Veronica an chuid is m\u00f3 den am, ag r\u00fascadh lei tr\u00ed aibhleoga na cuimhne, agus \u00ed ag l\u00e9imt lei go h\u00e9asca, \u00f3 eachtra amh\u00e1in go heachtra eile, gan clo\u00ed r\u00f3-dhl\u00fath le croineolaiocht, n\u00f3 le tada d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id. Tugtar le fios don l\u00e9itheoir freisin, go bhfuil amhras uirthi, anois is ar\u00eds, faoi chruinneas a cuimhne, ach, n\u00ed chuireann sin stop ar bith lei agus \u00ed ag athchruth\u00fa stair a muintire. Ach b\u00edodh sin mar at\u00e1, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, \u00e9ir\u00edonn lei dul i bhfeidhm ar <\/span>an l\u00e9itheoir, agus d\u00e9anann s\u00ed picti\u00far sp\u00e9isi\u00fail, corraitheach, inchreidte, a dhath\u00fa d\u00f3, ar th\u00edos, agus ar thuas, a muintire, agus iad ag treabhadh leo tr\u00ed shaol anr\u00f3iteach a linne. <\/span><\/p>

An-Sc\u00e9al <\/h3>

B\u2019fh\u00e9idir, ar bhealach eic\u00ednt, go gcuirfeadh an sc\u00e9al seo Angela\u2019s Ashes i gcuimhne do dhuine, n\u00f3 deintear an picti\u00far a l\u00edni\u00fa, – warts and all – faoi mar ad\u00fairt an t\u00e9 ad\u00fairt. Sea muis! N\u00ed chuireann an t-\u00fadar fiacail ann agus saol a muintire \u00e1 r\u00edomh aici.<\/span><\/p>

An-sc\u00e9al, an-insint, an-chur-chuige, arbh fhi\u00fa go maith \u00e9 a l\u00e9amh. <\/span><\/p>
