Hotel Du Lac
Hotel Du Lac | Anita Brookner
In the novel that won her the Booker Prize and established her international reputation, Anita Brookner finds a new vocabulary for framing the eternal question "Why love?" It tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a psudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to resore her to her senses.But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love's casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure. Beautifully observed, witheringly funny, Hotel du Lac is Brookner at her most stylish and potently subversive.

Monday morning. Would love to stay here with my cat and my book. (Which is so good so far!!)
Also, rarely do I read a book and feel my vocabulary is lacking. But Brookner! She has me looking up words constantly! 😅

A messy March storm (snow, freezing rain) is here for the weekend so happily hunkered down with this book that's been languishing on my TBR for eons.
Encouraging to see how many of my favourite Littens love it!

Edith has been sent to a hotel during the off season to give time for the dust to settle back home. At first she is an observer of the other guests but then is slowly drawn into their orbit, piecing together their stories as the reader pieces together hers. I loved the way this story weaved itself together and how I didn‘t care much for Edith until I suddenly adored her. #24in2024

After an affair, Edith ends up at the Hotel du Lac towards the end of the season. Edith is a novelist & is sent there for a reason which is revealed over the course of this novel filled with careful observations & great characterization. While at the hotel Edith meets several other unusual guests & as Edith is a very quiet individual it is through these interactions that we get a better sense of her as a character. Absolutely splendid book.

batsy Sounds lovely. This is the only Brookner I've read so far, but I loved it 8mo
vivastory @batsy Thanks for the rec! Brookner was pretty prolific, so as a newbie it's hard to know where to go next. If prizes mean much to you, this was the book that she won the Man Booker for. Beating out both Julian Barnes & JG Ballard. 8mo
sarahbarnes I loved this one, too. The only Brookner I‘ve read so far and it made me want to read more for sure. 8mo
Centique I loved this too. Ive read two other Brookners since reading this one and they were both so good - but this one is kind of perfect (imo) Definitely a Brookner fan now! 8mo

Having finished a project after 2+ years with my literary soul mate, Leo of LeosLittleBookLife on Instagram, it was time to sit down and talk about Anita Brookner‘s collection of fiction work. https://youtu.be/Bssi8RbbZxI

jlhammar Wow, that is quite the accomplishment! I'm hoping to read my first Brookner this year. I've got Look at Me, Hotel du Lac and Rules of Engagement on my shelves. Which of those do you think would be best to start with? 1y
HardcoverHearts Of those, I‘d read them in the order you listed- start with Look At Me. It‘s earlier than Hotel du Lac and from there I would read Hotel du Lac and if her style still appeals, Rules of Engagement. I hope you enjoy. 1y

Melancholy and atmospheric. Brookner‘s characters are so sad and lonely even when with each other (maybe especially when together).

Romance writer Edith has done something embarrassing and is urged to get away for a bit. She then finds herself at a hotel in #Switzerland at somewhat loose ends and a bit vulnerable. This is an odd little book with an interesting cast of characters and an abrupt ending which further cements my feeling that the Booker committee and I don‘t see eye to eye. I enjoyed this, but it was good not great.

This slim novel is beautiful and evocative in writing with a melancholy undertone. It‘s a quiet novel (no excitement here), and character-driven, at times it feels too leisurely and moody. We follow Edith, a middle-aged, single, successful writer of romantic fiction, as she examines her life and love choices while observing and interacting with the few odd guests in the hotel. 👇

erzascarletbookgasm ... Edith‘s secret on why she is temporarily staying at the hotel is revealed in flashbacks. The sense of loneliness is captured splendidly and the wry humour is brilliant. And the ending was a surprise (to me). Thank you for the copy, @batsy (the cover is gorgeous and does reflect the mood of the novel). I do think you‘ll like it if you haven‘t read it. 5y

What a beautiful book, about Edith who has been exiled to the Hotel du Lac after causing some ‘embarrassment‘, which is slowly revealed as the story continues. We also observe Edith‘s fellow guests through her novelist‘s eyes and through letters that she writes back home.

Although it‘s a rather gentle story there are also a number of twists that I didn‘t foresee - highly recommended!

@Cathythoughts - I shall have to try her other books now...
