| General note |
Dr Weiss, at forty, knew that her life had been ruined by literature.' Ruth Weiss, an academic, is beautiful, intelligent and lonely. Studying the heroines of Balzac in order to discover where her own childhood and adult life has gone awry, she seeks not salvation but enlightenment. Yet in revisiting her London upbringing, her friendships and doomed Parisian love affairs, she wonders if perhaps there might not be a chance for a new start in life . . .<br/><br/>Review<br/>How can anything be so funny and so sad both at once? Every sentence is an object lesson in compression and wit. -- Tessa Hadley Guardian Summer Reads, 2015 A delight, amusing, beautifully written. The Times Enormously sophisticated, knowing, often very funny tragi-comedy. Financial Times Excellent, brilliantly drawn.<br/><br/>About the Author<br/>Anita Brookner was born in south London in 1928, the daughter of a Polish immigrant family. She trained as an art historian, and worked at the Courtauld Institute of Art until her retirement in 1988.
