The Bay of Angels Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A little more happened in this Brookner novel than in the last I read, but I still wanted to shake the protagonist out of her passivity. Passive suffering seems to be a theme of hers. "

" Anita Brookner writes beautiful prose. I enjoyed her writing more than the story she told. "

" Not so great. Depressing kinda book, though it has a bit of hope at the end. Now I need to read something more lighthearted. "

" If this is not as depressing as Brookner's other books, I don't know if I can carry on reading them. Dear lord, the characters bring you down but "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way." I have forgotten that characteristic. "

" How youthful beliefs in fairy-tales are replaced by the demands of real life and, in the end, the acceptance of what life has to offer. Ms. Brookner is one of my favorite authors who can make extraordinary stories about ordinary life. "

" Again, it's not so much the plot with Brookner, but the prose. It shines. "

" Way too dark and maudlin. "

" i found the characters and story hard to relate to. i don't think addressing sexism and feminism with these weak, flimsy characters works, not if she's making the point i hope she's trying to make. "
