Mild and self-effacing, Paul and Henrietta Manning are ill prepared for the interuptions into their lives of Dolly - widow of Henrietta's brother Hugo. Dolly's ways are idiosyncratic, yet she is an object of fascination and dread to her relatives, especially her niece, Jane.

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