Description for WHAT ARE YOU LIKE Paperback.

'What is a really good novel like? This for a start' The Times

When Maria turns twenty, she falls in love. She is in the wrong town, and he is the wrong sort of man. Going through his things, she finds a photo of herself when she was twelve years old. She has the same smile, but she is wearing the wrong clothes: she is the same, only different.

Anne Enright's astonishing novel moves between Dublin, New York and London, following the lives of the real Maria and the girl in the picture. Stepping through the mirror to tell the story of the two women, both haunted by their missing selves, What Are You Like? is an exquisitely written disquisition on families and identity. Threading together the lives of two young women, it confirms Anne Enright as not only the most original Irish writer of her generation, but also as one of the finest, funniest, and most affecting.

Reviews for WHAT ARE YOU LIKE
This book is so sad that you want to laugh out loud. It deals with areas of experience and patterns of living that no one else has noticed
Colm Tóibín Hauntingly told
Sunday Times
Anne Enright is a very original writer - a spry surrealist who challenges the world with extraordinary, lancing sentences...so intelligent and so controlled
James Wood
Guardian
