«Hotel du Lac» is the novel by Anita Brookner, published by Pòrtic in paperback (173 pages, in Catalan).
Edith Hope, a writer of romantic novels, takes refuge in a hotel by Lake Geneva after a personal scandal. Among refined guests, she observes their lives and recalls her own: solitude, affections, marriage, and the tension between independence and the desire for companionship. The serene prose portrays social conventions with irony.
Winner of the Booker Prize; Catalan edition published in 1988.
