About this listen

Hartmann was a German, Fibich an orphan of World War II....

A novel about human relationships, focusing, unusually for Brookner, on two male characters. Hartmann and Fibich met at school and 40 years later they can no more think of living apart than of divorcing their wives. This book deals with their gradual coming to terms with the emotional gaps in their lives.

Favourite Brookner so far - she is so perceptive about middle class women and men of my parents’ generation, their ideas and hang ups. She also illuminates some universal truths about how to enjoy life. And Andrew Sachs is superb

Profound

Not one of Brookners best, but an interesting mood piece. One of her few stories from male perspective

Beautifully read
