When Anna Durrant is reported missing her friends seem unconcerned at her disappearance.
After all,her life has been one of concealment: for years Anna submitted to the protective dependence of her mother, and even after Amy Durrant's death she simply conformed to the expectations of others.
Increasingly,Anna finds herself trapped by the uneasy friendship of Mrs Marsh - a well-meaning,if not uncritical,friend of her mother - and the studied indifference of Mrs Marsh's son Nick.She must suffer, too,the insincere attentions of Doctor Halliday and his predatory wife Vickie. Only by drawing on extraordinary vigilance and determination,Anna realises,can she truly break away and enjoy her freedom.
Written with all Brookner's delicacy and insight,'FRAUD' is a triumphant portrait of a woman taking charge of her own destiny.
