I love the slow novels of Anita Brookner.
They are deeply character drawn, and honestly feel a bit claustrophobic. They are nonetheless fantastic.
She has a way of writing that moves me so deeply.

isn't this cover sullen? |
I've decided that I will read her remaining novels in publication order. I am so excited about this project.
Deep reading through an author's oeuvre is one of my favorite things to do.
Happy reading. ☕️
I won't make myself read in publication date. I've decided to read whichever I'm interested in at the time. You can't go wrong with Brookner. And, even her "miss" is a closer home run in 3/4 of what I read from the contemporary section these days.
