9780679759324: Hotel Du Lac: A Novel (Man Booker Prize Winner) (Vintage Contemporaries)

Synopsis

In the novel that won her the Booker Prize and established her international reputation, Anita Brookner finds a new vocabulary for framing the eternal question "Why love?" It tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a pseudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel Du Lac promises to restore her to her senses.

But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love's casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure. Beautifully observed, witheringly funny, "Hotel Du Lac" is Brookner at her most stylish and potently subversive.

Review

Edith Hope (a.k.a. romance author Veronica Wilde) has been banished by her friends to a stately hotel in Switzerland. During her stay she befriends some of the other guests, each of whom has his or her own tale. Edith struggles to come to terms with her career and love--the lack, the benefits, and the meaning thereof.

Review

"Brookner's most absorbing novel...wryly realistic...graceful and attractive." Anne Tyler, The New York Times Book Review

"Impeccably written and suffused with pleasing wit." Newsweek

"Distinctive, spellbinding...elegant but passionate, funny but oddly earnest.... Novels like hers are why we read novels." Christian Science Monitor

"A remarkable novel...Anita Brookner's best." Victoria Glendinning, The Sunday Times (London)
