Bestselling author

'There is real meaning to Brookner's characters, and this account of their lives is convincing, pitiful, just, admonitory, chilling and successful.'
Sunday Times

In one of her most delicate and suspenseful novels to date, Anita Brookner brings us an exquisite story of friendship and duty.

In one of her most delicate and suspenseful novels to date, Anita Brookner brings us an exquisite story of friendship and duty. Rachel Kennedy and Oscar Livingston were not precisely friends or family. Rachel had been acquainted with Oscar for some time, first as her father's accountant, and then as her own. Part owner of a London bookshop, Rachel is thoroughly independent and somewhat distant, determinedly restrained in her feelings for others, but above all, responsible. And it is this trait that leads Oscar and his wife Dorrie to seek out Rachel as a mentor for their 27-year-old daughter, Heather. Yet when Heather seems poised to make an unsuitable romantic decision, Rachel decides to speak out and intervene, causing an unwitting and devastating insight.

'A deep, careful, haunting exploration of the human personality.'
Elle

'Brookner is an artist of an exceptional purity.'
The New York Times
