The work of a great English stylist in full maturity. A masterpiece Review QuoteAs good as the English novel gets. Almost every sentence is a thing of beauty Review QuoteThere is something memorable on every page . . . there is much to savour in The Line of Beauty, not least its humour, a shivering yet morally exacting satire that leaves no character untouched Review QuoteHollinghurst can make language do what he wants . . .

A brilliantly comical and accurate satire upon the high noon of Mrs Thatcher Review QuoteThe immaculate rolling cadences of his novel are the keenest pleasure English prose has to offerWinner of the Man Booker Prize 2004, The Line of Beauty is exquisitely written, wryly funny and powerfully moving - a perfectly realized tale of our times. Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books There was the soft glare of the flash – twice – three times – a gleaming sense of occasion, the gleam floating in the eye as a blot of shadow, his heart running fast with no particular need of courage as he grinned and said, ‘Prime Minister, would you like to dance?’ In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the wealthy Feddens: Gerald, an ambitious Tory MP, his wife Rachel and their children Toby and Catherine. 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.
