The Rules of Engagement is the twenty second novel by Anita Brookner the Booker Prize winning author of Hotel du Lac. Elizabeth and Betsy are old school friends. Born in 1948 and unready for the sixties they had high hopes of the lives they would lead even though their circumstances were so different. When they meet again in their thirties Elizabeth married to the safe older Digby is relieving the boredom of a cosy but childless marriage with an affair. Betsy seems to have found real romance in Paris. Are their lives taking off or are they just making more of the wrong choices without even realising it? 'One of the most observant moralists writing today. A dark wintry work and there is plenty here to satisfy Brookner's fans' Guardian 'Her technique as a novelist is so sure and so quietly commanding' Hilary Mantel Guardian 'She is one of the great writers of contemporary fiction' Literary Review Anita Brookner was born in south London in 1928 the daughter of a Polish immigrant family. She trained as an art historian and worked at the Courtauld Institute of Art until her retirement in 1988. She published her first novel A Start in Life in 1981 and her twenty-fourth Strangers in 2009. Hotel du Lac won the 1984 Booker Prize. As well as fiction Anita Brookner has published a number of volumes of art criticism.
