The Line of Beauty Author: Alan Hollinghurst

ISBN: 9780330483216 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 500 Published: 1 September 2005 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.0 x 3.2 Description: Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2004, The Line Of Beauty is a perfectly realised tale of our times. It is the summer of 1983, and young Nick Guest, an innocent in the matters of politics and money, has moved into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: Gerald, an ambitious new Tory MP, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their children Toby and Catherine. Nick had idolized Toby at Oxford, but in his London life it will be the troubled Catherine who becomes his friend and his uneasy responsibility. At the boom years of the mid-80s unfold, Nick becomes caught up in the Feddens' world.

In an era of endless possibility, Nick finds himself able to pursue his own private obsession, with beauty - a prize as compelling to him as power and riches are to his friends.
