From the Booker Prize winning author, a Publishers Weekly Starred Review: "Brookner's narrators often combine a Jamesian inner life with a deceptively blank external one, and Emma Roberts is a paragon of that type. An English doctoral student in the late 1970s whose restraint matches her choice of studies—classical garden design—Emma grew up isolated with a widowed, reclusive mother. 'We loved each other greatly,' she says, 'yet so exclusive was that love that it was experienced more like anguish.' ...

That circumspection makes the novel very powerful, even as Emma's passivity is sometimes so extreme it feels concocted… Read More

Like O'Casey, he base dhis writing on his own experiences, and his extraordinary efforts earned him a permanent place in contemporary literature.... Made famous by his 1962 bestselling novel The Sand Pebbles, McKenna also wrote short stories and was working on an autobiographical novel, The Sons of… Read More
