Winner of the Booker Prize, the beautiful, romantic and gorgeously
philosophical Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner is part of our Penguin
Essential series which spotlights the very best of our modern
classics 'The Hotel du Lac was a dignified building, a house of
repute, a traditional establishment, used to welcoming the prudent,
the well-to-do, the retired, the self-effacing, the respected
patrons of an earlier era' Into the rarefied atmosphere of the
Hotel du Lac timidly walks Edith Hope, romantic novelist and holder
of modest dreams. Edith has been exiled from home after
embarrassing herself and her friends. She has refused to sacrifice
her ideals and remains stubbornly single. But among the pampered
women and minor nobility Edith finds Mr Neville, and her chance to
escape from a life of humiliating loneliness is renewed . . . 'A
classic . . . a book which will be read with pleasure a hundred
years from now' Spectator 'Humorous, witty, touching and formidably
clever' The Times 'Hotel du Lac is written with a beautiful grave
formality, and it catches at the heart' Observer 'So sure and so
quietly commanding' Hilary Mantel, Guardian
