Hotel Du Lac

4/5

reader rating · 4,102 ratings

Hotel du Lac is Anita Brookner's Booker Prize–winning novel about Edith Hope, a romance novelist exiled to a Swiss lakeside hotel, where her encounters with fellow guests — including the calculating Mr. Neville and the imperious Mrs. Pusey — force a reckoning with independence, convention, and desire. Though its prize win was contested and its plot arc drew some critical reservations, the novel's prose precision and wry emotional intelligence have secured it a lasting place in twentieth-century British fiction, and Wikipedia's reception summary notes it was one of the top ten bestselling books of the 1980s.
