About This Item
Synopsis
This 1984 winner of the Man Booker prize tells the story of the protagonist Edith Hope, a romance novelist on a "curious interlude in her life". She has been forced into temporary exile in the stolid Swiss hotel of the book's title after a romantic transgression which was so unforgivable that her friends, embarrassed and outraged, ordered her away to have a good long think. Set in contemporary 19th century, the prose is unusual and beautiful; an elegant classic the reader won’t want to put down. Anita Brookner, born July 1928, is an English novelist and art historian and is considered one of the great contemporary writers of English fiction. Brookner is highly regarded as a stylist. Her fiction, which has been duly influenced by her own life experiences, explores themes of isolation, emotional loss and difficulties and typically depicts intellectual middle-class women.
