The Gathering follows Veronica through the days after her elder brother, Liam's, suicide. There is less than 12 months between the two, so they spent a lot of time together whilst growing. Saying that it is a novel about family life does not do it justice. The narrator tries to piece together family history, etc in an attempt to make sense of her own life. Dealing with a close sibling's suicide brings her to question where her own life is going.
