Anita Brookner
Providence
Penguin 1991 Paperback, 192pp. In this one the protagonist, Kitty Maule, longs to be 'totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful.' She is instead clever, reticent, self-possessed, and striking. For years Kitty has been tactfully courting her colleague Maurice Bishop, a detached, elegant English professor. (ISBN: 9780140147445). Good.
