About this listen

Moving between Nice and London, The Bay of Angels makes the point that not everyone needs conventional relationships to be happy. It relates the story of Zoe, whose life changes when her widowed mother marries a wealthy older man and moves to Nice.

I never get tired of reading Anita Brookner. I have come to love her gentle but incisive writing style. I thought I had read all she had written but I 'm finding works on Audible which I have never seen in book shops

Another briiiant Brookner

I have to confess that almost the only novel written in the first person that I have admired is The Sea, The Sea, by Iris Murdoch. This book did nothing to displace my view. However, that is not it’s only flaw. The central character is exasperating and implausible, and the author veers from huge amounts of detail to unhelpful lack of it- for example over the amount of money Zoe inherits. As she flits at will between London and France it feels dishonest to spend any time at all writing about her visit to the solicitor about finances without being more specific. I’m afraid the quality of the writing does not rescue this book for me

Beautifully written but unsatisfactory book
