Dolly
The latest novel by one of the literary scene's most profound observers of women's lives. From the moment Jane first meets Aunt Dolly, with her perfumed mink and bored laughter, she is both fascinated and appalled. But as the exigencies of family life bring Jane and Dolly together, Brookner shows how we sometimes end up loving people we cannot always bring ourselves to like.

Praise for this book
"Compelling...takes us deep into the territory of the heart, with all its rocky roads and shimmering possibilities," -- Los Angeles Times "About as wonderful as anything Brookner has ever written." -- Carol Kino, The New York Times Book Review "Poignant, beautifully told.... Only a writer of great passion, conviction and artistry could [create such] a spellbinding portrait of the dreams and frustrations of the human heart." -- Christian Science Monitor
