The Bay of Angels
Anita Brookner
Zoe and her mother have led a quiet life in London. When her mother
suddenly marries and moves to Nice, Zoe embraces freedom and thrives in
her independent life. Her liberation is cut short when her stepfather
dies and leaves behind mysteries and not much else. Zoe's mother falls
strangely ill and while Zoe tries to come to terms with an uncertain
future, she begins to follow the movements of a reclusive, alluring man.
