Description
Falling Slowly by Anita Brookner is a poignant exploration of human isolation and its consequences. As middle age settles in, two sisters, Beatrice and Miriam Sharpe, are forced to confront the choices they've made and the loneliness that has crept into their lives.
Their paths diverge in unexpected ways: Beatrice gives up performing due to physical limitations, while Miriam embarks on a passionate affair with a married man. As each sister struggles to come to terms with her isolation, illness threatens to sever them from the one happiness they've grown accustomed to - their relationship with each other.
This thought-provoking novel is a nuanced portrayal of the conflicting desires that define human experience, and the ways in which our choices can both unite and isolate us.
