ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the Booker Prize 1984
Into the rarefied atmosphere of the Hotel du Lac, a dignified establishment on the shores of a Swiss lake, timidly walks Edith Hope, writer of romantic novels and holder of modest dreams.
Edith has been sent away from London after embarrassing herself and her friends. She has refused to sacrifice her ideals and remains stubbornly single. But among the pampered women and minor nobility who make up the off-season guests, she meets Mr Neville – and her chance to escape a life of quiet loneliness is renewed.
Witty, poignant and beautifully observed, Hotel du Lac is a modern classic about love, independence and the choices women are expected to make.
