'Luminous ...[an] astonishingly Jamesian novel, a crafty, glittering, sidelong bid by a contemporary master of English prose to be considered heir to James himself. For a novel that spans only four years, 1983 to 1987, it seems to encompass a world as capacious as any in a James novel' - "The Times". 'There 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' - "Times 'Superb... Alan Hollinghurst is in the prime of his writing life, and the immaculate rolling cadences of his new novel are right now the keenest pleasure English prose has to offer' - "Daily Telegraph". 'Quite simply a joy to read. It is solid and traditional, beautifully crafted. A quiet masterpiece' - "Scotland on Sunday." Click here to buy from Amazon.co.uk

The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst. List Price:£11.89
	2004 Man Booker Prize Winner Amazon review: A beautifully-written book. Every sentence, even word, chosen with great care. Just occasionally I felt the phrasing a little too self-consciously intellectual.For me it's rare to read a book with almost no sympathetic characters - Nick, the central character, certainly isn't.It is a deliciously-observed picture of the money-grabbing, lying, self-preoccupied corruption of the Thatcherite mid-1980's Click here to buy from Amazon.co.uk

The Spell by Alan Hollinghurst. List Price:£6.99
	Synopsis A comedy of sexual manners that follows the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin Woodfield, an architect in his late forties living with his younger lover Justin (a would-be actor) in Dorset; Robin's 22-year-old son Danny, who lives for clubbing and casual sex; and shy Alex Review The Spell has found Alan Hollinghurst on the Guardian's Fiction Prize shortlist, and with good reason. His first two novels were mischievous, escapist things, toying with the delights of colonial buggery (The Swimming Pool Library) and underage Belgian boys (The Folding Star). In The Spell he's come of age, finally engaging with the issues of relationships, monogamy and aging that preoccupy the work of his peers. Alex is an uptight 36-year-old Foreign Office man who suddenly falls for Danny, the 22- year-old son of his ex-lover's new lover (are you following this?) The infatuation with Danny is as much an infatuation with the ecstasy-fuelled nightlife to which Danny introduces him, and it's hardly a surprise when the relationship fizzles. But Alex is forced into confronting his desires and the novel ends leaving him unsure but at least taking stock and looking forward. The story veers wildly between an intoxicating London and a windswept, traditional Wessex, as if Hollinghurst can't yet reconcile true rural Englishness with the possibilities afforded by cosmopolitan queer London. But there's an honesty here that's welcome after the (admittedly arousing) archness of his earlier work, and a real sense of facing up to life's bigger questions.
