Description
The Line of Beauty is a novel that explores a young man's collision with his own desires and the world he can never truly belong to. In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the wealthy Feddens, an ambitious Tory MP and his family. Nick is swept up into the Feddens' world and an era of endless possibility, all the while pursuing his own private obsession with beauty.
Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's 1980s Britain, this novel is a masterful exploration of class, politics, and sexuality. With peerless style, Alan Hollinghurst defines a decade and a generation, creating a work of literature that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature, The Line of Beauty is a novel that will resonate with readers of contemporary fiction.
