The possibility of freedom and the pain of separation affect mother and daughter differently when Carmel watches Nell go out into the world. Join Enright for a brilliant meditation on love, inherited trauma, and the types of resilience women must develop to ensure more promising futures.
In conversation with Caoilinn Hughes.
