Advantages: good book for character study Disadvantages: doesn't help in cheering you up much
I read Hotel duLac by Anita Brookner some years ago. Alex Mayer provides a brief summary of what actually happpens in the novel and he is also correct in mentioning that it is a fairly thin book. However, don't be surprised if you get small prints.
Anyway, what struck me as I was reading the novel was it's sterility and lack of life. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that I was only 14 when i read the novel. Upon further research, I found that Anita Brookner does tend to take a more feminist stance towards certain issues especially those pertaining to relationships and it shows in her style of writing and in the strength of her character.
The main character, Edith Hope, seemingly frail and in need of this holiday to nurse a broken heart, as well as, to write a novel is in fact quite resilient and will not sucuumb to being a pure ...

The Canal du Midi, is a man dug canal, situated in the south of France, and joins the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean sea, via the Canal Garonne. The water sources which allow the canal to be constantly navigable, come from the Montagne Noire, (situated in the south west of the Massif Central, near Mazamet, in the Tarn area), by three lakes, and the Saint Ferréol dam. This technical challenge, first imagined in 1539, stayed a project on paper for almost a century, until 1636.

The Saint Ferréol dam was built in 1667, and in 1680, the locks at Béziers, called "Les écluses de Fonseranne" were built. Pierre Paul Riquet died that year, and the very first navigation ...
I first saw Hotel du Nord as part of a double bill with a film by Jean Renoir (I forget which - though I think the brilliant Le Crime De Monsieur Lange) and I was frankly going to see the Renoir film and thought, hmmm, I'll just have to sit through Hotel du Nord and grin and bear it. Something about the film just really didn't appeal. Then right from the opening shot that tracks down from the bridge over the canal Saint Martin and along the side of the canal to where the two lovers, played by Annabella and Jean-Pierre Aumont, settle against one another on a bench, despairing and apparently doomed I simply didn't look back. I couldn't.
Since that Sunday afternoon I have always had something of a soft spot for Hotel du Nord. It is firmly placed in the traditional of French cinema of the thirties. Like his contemporaries, Renoir ...
