When Rachel becomes involved in the lives of the Livingstones it is with an acute appreciation of their home - beautifully furnished and richly decorated. They have won an undisclosed amount of money on the football pools. But rather than enjoy their new-found wealth, seem sadly resigned to it. They do, however, appear to take pleasure in the association between Rachel and their daughter Heather, seeing Rachel as a good influence. However, no one can foresee their own destiny.

And everyone can be a victim of fate.

Most relevant

A beautifully read, beautifully written novel by Anita Brookner. The protagonist as always feels an outsider, while the rituals performed by the other characters are elegantly designed to fend off, but somehow underline, the pointlessness of life.
