As Nell sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions. 'The Wren, The Wren' is a novel about the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.
