How

so
funny
and
so
sad
both
at
once?
Every
sentence
is
an
object
lesson
in
compression
and
wit.
All of Brookner's novels are great, but this is one of the best . . . Brookner, though acclaimed, deserves more excitement, more rapture from us. Hotel du Lac and the Booker Prize were a long time ago, and it's not her fault if she has bloomed equally brightly every year without fail. I think we're taking her for granted if we don't jump up and celebrate this book right now
Her technique as a novelist is so sure and so quietly commanding.
