"Maud simply wanted to live in Paris, with or without a husband, preferably without. While careful not to let her thoughts show on her severe and slightly disdainful golden face, Maud had a secret desire to escape all forms of control."
-- Incidents in the Rue Laugier by Anita Brookner
I am now definitely a Brookner fan.

Michelle -- thanks for the note and your teaser! Your comment will come back tomorrow too.
Great teaser! Maud sounds like such a typical Brookner type, with her "slightly disdainful" face. Love her books.
