My Porch and Savidge Reads are hosting
on the 16th of July 2011.
Thomas at My Porch makes the oh-so-true comment that, "her novels are so similar in theme and tone that it is a little hard for me to keep them straight. Perhaps closer readers with better recall can more easily differentiate one from the other, but I really can't." This made me laugh in recognition, as I often think "Have I read this one?" It is almost too hard to tell without re-reading. But there are a couple that I'm pretty sure I haven't read, so these are going on my wishlist for International Anita Brookner Day:
They are:
Lewis Percy (1989);
Incidents in the Rue Laugier (1995);
Undue Influence (1999);
The Rules of Engagement (2003);
Leaving Home (2005);
and Strangers (2009).
On second thoughts, I'm sure I've read Leaving Home.
Oh dear...
