Review:
The novel is nearly as perfect an instance of its genre as it is reasonable to ask. (Frank Kermode, Spectator)
This is vintage Brookner: all exquisite understatement, acute observation and razor-sharp dissection of motive. (Time Out)
This small history unfolds slowly, with delicious wit or bitter pathos, and finally with a marvellous, lingering human resonance. (Sunday Express)
Compelling . . . some classic Brookner quality stays in the mind; questions hover, polite but uncomfortable, long after the final page. (Times Literary Supplement)

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