amber_h 's review for:

Hotel Du Lac by Anita Brookner
4.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I've read this book three times now, and each time I fall in love with the prose. It's so beautiful to read that I don't mind the emotional distance from the main character, who contains multitudes enough but who feels strangely likeable, and the fact that the perspective sometimes wanders away from her entirely. A quiet book that I enjoyed reading and will probably read again.
