Winner of the Booker Prize; National Best Seller; Amsterdam is "a dark tour de force, perfectly fashioned" (The New York Times) by the bestselling author of Atonement. It is a biting morality story set in the modern day and deceitfully disguised as a humorous book.
Two longtime friends gather in the crowd outside a London crematorium on a freezing February day to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Molly has been in love with both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday before they got to their present Vernon edits newspapers, and Clive is the most successful contemporary composer in Britain. Gorgeous and fiery, Molly had other lovers, including the Foreign Secretary, Julian Garmony, a prominent right-winger who was widely predicted to become the next prime minister. Clive and Vernon will strike a deal in the days that follow Molly's burial, with unanticipated ramifications for each of them.
Lessons, Ian McEwan's latest book, is not to be missed.
