Anita Brookner: Hotel Du Lac
Hotel Du Lac is a beautifully balanced and deeply enriching novel—it is no surprise it won the prestigious Booker Prize for 1984. Thematically it doesn’t veer very far from Brookner’s established territory but it is a more fully-realized treatment, a deeper set of observations on the complications of womanhood for women of a certain caste at a certain moment in both their personal history and the history of Europe.
