«Visitors» is the novel by Anita Brookner, published by Penguin Books in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Dorothea May values her peace and quiet, but the news of Kitty Levinson's granddaughter's wedding disrupts her routine. The generational conflict surfaces: the young make selfish demands; the older ones bow to a discretion that limits them. A novel about family obligations and expectations that threaten to overwhelm the lives of those who take them on.
The novel was originally published in 1997; this English-language edition from Penguin Books appeared in 1998.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction interested in British novels about family relationships.
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.
