«A Start in Life» is the contemporary fiction novel by Anita Brookner, published by Triad Books in paperback (176 pages, in English).
At forty, Dr Ruth Weiss discovers that literature has marked her existence. Between London and Paris, she grows up attentive to her parents and to models like Anna Karenina and Emma Bovary; her love affairs and life in Paris dissolve the distance between fiction and reality, in a story about identity and self-knowledge.
First novel by Anita Brookner, originally published as «The Debut» in 1981; this edition is from 1982.
Aimed at readers of contemporary literary fiction, with an interest in British novels about the search for personal identity.
