The Debut

I loved this book. As someone who also wonders how books we read affect our perceptions of ourselves and the world, I thought Brookner did a wonderful job illustrating this idea. The novel is beautifully written; the words will resonate in your mind as you this. This is not a stuffy British text at all. I highly recommend it.
