Altered States
Autor Anita Brookneren Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2016
Alan Sherwood is a cautious, solitary London solicitor who finds himself obsessed by his glamorous cousin Sarah. But Sarah is self-seeking and predatory and their short-lived affair leaves Alan desolate. He finds distraction in Angela, a homely, needy acquaintance of Sarah and they drift into marriage.
Alan, however, is haunted by his memories of Sarah, and, attempting to recapture the wordless passion of their time together, he arranges a final meeting. It is an act of betrayal that changes his life for ever.

Recenzii
This
is
one
of
the
best
novels
Brookner
has
written.
I
was
mesmerised
from

finish,
and
it
is
shot
through
with
a
maturity
and
depth
of
perception
that
leaves
you
breathless
with
admiration.
As a novelist Anita Brookner is both infinitely various and adorably unique.
Witty, painful, often moving in their bleak truthfulness, Anita Brookner's novels show mastery in a very specific genre. This quiet novel is yet another reminder that she is a novelist whose art and understanding are much wider than the world she chronicles so chillingly.
