In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: conservative Member of Parliament Gerald, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their two children, Toby-whom Nick had idolized at Oxford-and Catherine, highly critical of her family's assumptions and ambitions. As the boom years of the eighties unfold, Nick, an innocent in the world of politics and money, finds his life altered by the rising fortunes of this glamorous family. His two vividly contrasting love affairs, one with a young black clerk and one with a Lebanese millionaire, dramatize the dangers and rewards of his own private pursuit of beauty, a pursuit as compelling to Nick as the desire for power and riches among his friends. Richly textured, emotionally charged, disarmingly comic, this U.K. bestseller is a major work by one of our finest writers.

每句话都是戏
评分电视剧先入为主,自动带入大表哥的脸,简直无法直视nick,哎。小说本身,对于社会的人情世故,人类的心理的阴暗角落,太敏锐细致
评分Hollinghurst熟读文学典籍,所以每个字都有来历,除了引用,就是赤裸裸的描写情色。line of beauty是Hogarth说的double curve,更是人的背部曲线,need i say more?
