Providence

"With several other British novelists of past and present, Anita Brookner shares a love of order and pattern, a discreet sense of humor, and a piquant awareness of manners, as well as a rather small canvas. These are novels for a disciplined sensibility... 'Providence' has many of the Brooknerian virtues...: elegant prose, ironic humor, a delicate astuteness about character, and a fine sensitivity to the oddities of various social groups. Anita Brookner, an art historian, writes with painterly attention to detail."Brookner, Anita is the author of 'Providence' with ISBN 9780679738145 and ISBN 0679738142.
