Nevertheless, ‘Hotel du Lac’ is quietly subversive in its own way and underneath Brookner’s elegant turns of phrase lies some cutting humour and social analysis. Ironically, its apparent gentleness caused a fair amount of controversy – according to the Guardian, Brookner “half-apologised that her books are “quite nice but unimportant” and suggested it might have been better if Empire Of The Sun (by J. It is difficult to imagine this sort of book winning the Man Booker Prize today, and even at the time ‘Hotel du Lac’ won in 1984, it seems to have been viewed as a rather old-fashioned novel. However, it is Philip Neville, a divorced man also staying at the hotel who makes the most significant impression on the other guests. A keen people-watcher, she has some unusual encounters with various eccentric guests including a rich widow Mrs Pusey and her daughter Jennifer, as well as Monica and her dog Kiki.

I wouldn't be me.Īnd that, basically, is at the crux of The Personal Librarian, a new novel by Heather Terrell (writing as Marie Benedict) and Victoria Christopher Murray. At several points in childhood and as an adult, I've loved the notion of being rich, but being white? I cannot imagine it. "Deep down, all Black people want to be white." I heard that in a social psychology class, repeated as if it were a truism. From Nella Larsen's 1929 classic, Passing, to the original Imitation of Life (the 1934 movie starred the incomparable Fredi Washington as Peola, the little girl who wanted to be white) to Britt Bennett's 2020 novel The Vanishing Half, the notion of a Black person posing as white to escape her Blackness just felt. ![]() I have a confession: I am not a fan of the passing trope. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All-purpose flour: Measure your flour correctly with the spoon and level method.Here’s what you’ll need to make the cupcakes and raspberry buttercream frosting: These vanilla cupcakes rely heavily on pantry staples, plus a few special ingredients.

Before our first daughter Brittany was born in Chapel Hill in 1993, Lois and Charles gifted us a beautiful handmade changing table. Sharon and Lois exchanged many ideas on sewing which they both loved. Charles played his washtub bass once and I recall a Dulcimer that he had bought from a mountain city in North Carolina showing up one time. The many times we had dinner at your house, it was accompanied by music and singing. Soon we become friends through the Newman Center where we attended weekly mass and met Lois and the Corrina, Kristin, and Ben.
