Title: BORING
Product review: Even among Anita Brookner's long and turgid row of novels, this one must be one of the most boring. Anna Durant disappears, and no one seems to care. Not that we care either, and at the end of it, one feels "Good riddance." Anna is so turgid, passive and unlikeable that she may well be placed in a zoo and end up starving herself, and her very existence is an absolute bane on life. An invalid would have led a more exciting life. Strangely enough there is no mention of TV, cars, movies; her love life is apparently sexless, and one wonders why she does not just join a nunnery rather than waltz the streets like a phantom. At the very least there will be troupes of interesting celibates for company. Enough, Ms Brookner; either change your style or characters in your novels. We don't want to spend dollars on permutations on the same theme.
