«Familia y amigos» is the novel by Anita Brookner published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Brookner composes a family portrait in which the characters, apparently static, gradually reveal their evolution. Sofka, the mother, shows preference for Frederick and Betty, while Alfred and Mimi grow in her shadow; amid unrequited affections and subtle alliances, the novel unveils the bonds that unite and bind family and friends.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection from Tusquets. The original English edition, Family and Friends, was published in 1985.
For readers of literary fiction who appreciate family portraits and the evolution of emotional bonds.
