‘The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.’Destined to be a haunter of libraries, Lewis’s cautious progress through life reveals to him only his own shortcomings. Estranged from his wife and daughter, he searches for an alternative. This novel presents the life and aspirations of one man who remains out of step with his times.

"Each new Brookner novel…guarantees the pleasures of a mature intelligence, felicitous language, quirky humor, intensely believable characters, bitter-sweet karma and shapely narrative….A brilliantly executed novel."– Phillip Lopate,The New York Times Book Review"Anita Brookner never ceases to surprise. In this sly and delectable fiction…an artist has extended her range."-Boston Globe"Confirms Anita Brookner's reputation as a novelist….There is a solemn felicity, a classical sense of fairness inherent in Lewis Percy. This, with the author's sane humor, told in her elegant, lucid prose, combines to make something truly remarkable."– San Francisco Chronicle |
