What an interesting novel. I had no idea what to expect going into this. I knew it was famous, I knew it was Brookner’s most famous novel and I knew it won the year I was born. That’s about it.

The piece that I was meh about, was the body-guard aspect of the series, but seeing some reviews on Goodreads, maybe I’ve been missing out!
