Anita Brookner and The Quiet Novels I Adore

Source: bbc.com

I am not sure how I stumbled upon the English novelist Anita Brookner, but I am so glad that I did.

I kept seeking out novelist and novels that just felt like me. 

When I learned that she was an unmarried dedicated novelist who didn't publish until her early 50s, I was like, YES YES YES all the things YES.

She started publishing her novels at age 53 and pretty much wrote one a year until she died.
