Customer Reviews

My first Brookner, and definitely not my last..

I'm a fan of the writing of British women, with few exceptions, and I was long overdue in trying Anita Brookner. In this novel Brookner exhibits strong literary prowess in her impeccable use of the language. Nary a word is wasted in this tight, fast-moving novel. I was entirely immersed in this book for the gripping nature of the plot as well as the empathy I felt for the characters. An absolutely fabulous read! I'm now onto _Hotel du Lac_ and have no doubt it will be an equally engaging read.
