A Family Romance (Charnwood Library) - Hardcover
A novel centring on the relationship between the classic Brookner heroine (only child, soon bereft of parents, alone in depressing flat) who becomes a feminist academic, and her pleasure-loving French aunt who's into men and bridge parties.

Review:
'This small history unfolds slowly, with delicious wit or bitter pathos, and finally with a marvellous, lingering human resonance.' (The Sunday Express)
'The novel is nearly as perfect an instance of its genre as it is reasonable to ask.' (The Spectator)
'This is vintage Brookner: all exquisite understatement, acute observation and razor-sharp dissection of motive.' (Time Out)

A beautifully written story of loss and loneliness, and as always with Brookner, tremendously insightful and witty.
