Anita Brookner -like novelists?
Can someone recommend a novelist with similar prose style to Anita Brookner and similar focus on characters' interiors, but whose books have a bit more plot development, with characters whose lives aren't so, umm, circumscribed? If you've read Brookner, I'm sure you know what I mean.
I know there's Henry James, but I've read all his major novels, except Wings of a Dove, which is really rough going. Thanks. |
