The Line of Beauty

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, while pursuing his own private obsession with beauty. A Booker Prize-winning masterpiece, The Line of Beauty is one of the defining artistic statements about 1980s Britain, and a landmark work of LGBT literature.
