Hotel du Lac

 




Hotel du Lac, by Anita Brookner, is a meticulously well-written book.  Brookner has the ability, often found in writers of a certain kind, of slicing a moment down to its human mechanics.  She takes a facial expression, a few words, and makes the world move in slow motion as she parses out what all these motions and words we perform and speak represent.
