The twenty second novel by Booker Prize winning author of Hotel du Lac Anita Brookner.

The Rules of Engagement is the twenty second novel by Booker Prize winning author of Hotel du Lac Anita Brookner.

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?
