jennyyates 's review for:
Hotel Du Lac
by Anita Brookner
I enjoyed this small, elegantly feminist novel. Edith Hope is a writer of romances who commits an unpardonable social sin, and so is pressured to remove herself from the community, and go to an out-of-season hotel in Switzerland. In the beginning of the novel, Edith looks around her and observes the other denizens. Passively, she allows them to move her into their orbits. It seems, once again, that life is making room for her to be a respectable lady again. But there’s something in Edith that has a lot of trouble cooperating with this process.
