Few writers ever attain the depth of character and emotion so succinctly captured by Anita Brookner. Her characters beckon us to read on for as we examine their lives, we find we cannot cannot help but be moved to investigate the deepest feelings and motivations in our own lives as well. Within the novel,Brookner herself becomes philosopher as she wonders about the mystery of our emotional desires and why the events of our lives turn out the way they do. Brookner captivates the reader with her own special magic; with prose that seems almost poetic and with characters so beautifully drawn they are unforgettable.
