«Latecomers» is the literary fiction novel by Anita Brookner, published by Penguin in paperback (224 pages, in English).
The novel follows Hartmann and Fibich, two friends who came to England as children on the Kindertransport. As adults, they remain close and run a business, but face the past in opposite ways: Hartmann hides it behind his impeccable manners; Fibich, full of fears, cannot stop remembering.
The novel was originally published in 1988; this Penguin edition appeared in 2010 and includes a foreword by Helen Dunmore.
A read for those seeking literary fiction centred on friendship, memory and the aftermath of war.
