Author's fourth novel. Winner of the 2004 Man Booker Prize and Fiction Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Ranked 38th on The Guardian's 2019 list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.
A Jamesian take on the apogée of the Thatcher years, as a twenty-year-old Oxford graduate is swept up into a vertiginous high-society swirl with faint intimations of the AIDS epidemic that is yet to come. Made into an acclaimed three-part BBC TV mini-series in 2006, with Dan Stevens in the rôle of Nick Guest. "The work of a great English stylist in full maturity; a masterpiece." Observer
