Sinopse

Undue Influence is the 19th novel by Anita Brookner, the Booker Prize-winning author of Hotel du Lac.

Enigmatic Claire is 30 and lives alone. When she meets Martin Gibson, a faded scholar, she becomes inordinately interested. She is even more interested when she meets his wife, a far more spectacular personality. But the unexpected news of this woman's death releases emotions that were not entirely foreseen.

Anita Brookner was born in South London in 1928, the daughter of a Polish immigrant family. She trained as an art historian and worked at the Courtauld Institute of Art until her retirement in 1988. She published her first novel, A Start in Life, in 1981 and her 24th, Strangers, in 2009. As well as fiction, Anita Brookner has published a number of volumes of art criticism.

Resumo da Crítica

"All of Brookner's novels are great, but this is one of the best.... Brookner, though acclaimed, deserves more excitement, more rapture from us. Hotel du Lac and the Booker Prize were a long time ago, and it's not her fault if she has bloomed equally brightly every year without fail. I think we're taking her for granted if we don't jump up and celebrate this book right now." (Julie Myerson, Independent on Sunday)
"Her technique as a novelist is so sure and so quietly commanding." (Hilary Mantel, Guardian)
"She is one of the great writers of contemporary fiction." (Literary Review)
