Lewis Percy
Anita Brookner performs a remarkable leap of imaginative sympathy to give us an acute and almost Jamesian vision of a man torn between the comfortable life of the mind and the alluring--but terrifying--world of the senses.

Praise for this book
"Each new Brookner novel...guarantees the pleasures of a mature intelligence, felicitous language, quirky humor, intensely believable characters, bitter-sweet karma and shapely narrative....A brilliantly executed novel." -- Phillip Lopate, The New York Times Book Review"Anita Brookner never ceases to surprise. In this sly and delectable fiction...an artist has extended her range."-Boston Globe "Confirms Anita Brookner's reputation as a novelist....There is a solemn felicity, a classical sense of fairness inherent in Lewis Percy. This, with the author's sane humor, told in her elegant, lucid prose, combines to make something truly remarkable." -- San Francisco Chronicle
