This was on the shelf for years and I resisted it even though I love Anne Enright because the cover made me think it was a sassy city-office comedy, which I was never in the mood for.

It's not that at all, but it is (patchily) great. And it's not a bad cover, just unsuitable, I think.

Paperback copy of Anne Enright's novel "What Are You Like?" It shows two young women side by side, hands on hips, but we can only see their shoulders, arms, and hips. One wears a yellow shirt, the other, blue, both with the sleeve rolled up. A cover quote from the Times reads: "What is a really good novel like? This, for a start." Below that is the text: "Winner of the Encore Award 2001". The photo is by Ashley Rudolph.

New Canadian Library ~ 105 Mystic and as haunting as an Indian myth, Tay John is a novel of outcast love, and merciless greed, a work that strikes a resonant primordial chord. Howard O'Hagan Tay John Bottom half: Abstract circle image.
