Bought this quite recently, but can't remember where it was recommended. A Booker prize winner from the '80s, but in many ways it could have been set in any period from the 19th century to the 1990s, and with it's theme of a woman who has had an affair and jilted her fiance being 'sent away' to a hotel in the Alps feels much earlier morally than the 1980s. I enjoyed it, and wouldn't mind seeing the film with Anna Massey and Denholm Elliott. It was witty and short, but hasn't left me hungry to read any more by Anita Brookner.
