    About A Private View

    Brookner explores the complications that arise when one solitary man comes up against a woman who seems determined to invade his solitude. George Bland is an aging bachelor whose existence has been virtually a mirror image of his name–up until now. For into George’s life walks Katy Gibb, young, abrasively self-assured, who incites in George the most alarming feelings.
