Innocent of politics and money, Nick is swept up into the Feddens' world and an era of endless possibility, all the while pursuing his own private obsession with beauty.The Line of Beauty is Alan Hollinghurst's Man Booker Prize-winning masterpiece. It is a novel that defines a decade, exploring with peerless style a young man's collision with his own desires, and with a world he can never truly belong to.'A classic . . . The work of a great English stylist in full maturity. A masterpiece' Observer'As good as the English novel gets. Almost every sentence is a thing of beauty' Sunday Telegraph von Hollinghurst, Alan
