«Providence» is the literary fiction novel by Anita Brookner, published by Triad/Grafton Books in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Kitty Maule, an academic preparing a study on the nineteenth-century French novel, falls in love with a married colleague. Between reason and desire, the protagonist contends with loneliness, the weight of social conventions, and the uncertainty of a perhaps unrequited love, while seeking her own path in everyday life.
The novel was originally published in 1983 and this edition is a paperback reprint of the text.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary narrative, with an interest in twentieth-century British literature.
Anita Brookner was an English novelist and art historian. She was Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Cambridge from 1967 to 1968 and was the first woman to hold this visiting professorship. She was awarded the 1984 Booker–McConnell Prize for her novel Hotel du Lac.
