Lewis Percy by Anita Brookner
Brookner's impeccably crafted work examines the life of Lewis Percy, the son of a timorous widow in search of a wife. He settles on a library assistant as virginal as himself but with the added handicap of agoraphobia. Lewis knows he must rescue Tissy from her stifling home in this sharp, funny observation of people and places by one of the great writers of contemporary English fiction.
Anita Brookner was born in south London in 1928, the daughter of a Polish immigrant family. She trained as an art historian, and worked at the Courtauld Institute of Art until her retirement in 1988. She published her first novel, A Start in Life, in 1981 and her twenty-fourth, Strangers, in 2009. Hotel du Lac won the 1984 Booker Prize. As well as fiction, Anita Brookner has published a number of volumes of art criticism.
