In a melancholic London, Blanche Vernon leads an orderly life after being abandoned by her husband. Her walks through the National Gallery confront her with her solitude. The appearance of Sally and a girl alter her routine, showing her the contrast between vitality and inertia. Anita Brookner offers a painting of female loneliness and alienation, conveyed with lucidity and refined intelligence.
