Description

Sommer 1983. Als der zwanzigjährige Nick Guest eine Dachkammer bei den Feddens im reichen Londoner Stadtteil Notting Hill bezieht, taucht er in eine ihm bis dahin völlig fremde Welt ein. Nicks Entwicklung vom kleinbürgerlichen Provinzler zum dandyhaften Kosmopoliten ist gleichzeitig ein großartiges Sittengemälde der Thatcher-Ära, für das Hollinghurst mit dem Booker-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde.

A friend go mine bought this book and literally pushed it into my hands. "Read it. You'll love it." Of course he was perfectly right. I mean, the book contained it all: gay men, the Iron Lady (somehow we all loved her …), jet set lifestyle. Ok, I admit that back then I was in an age where I kept asking when finally "something" happens (something like in something, you know …). It never happened explicitly, but still (or maybe even more so) the book was able to steal my heart. I assume that today I would find even more in the book, maybe an ideal candidate for a re-read (I definitely need one to add substantial thoughts to this review). Well, today I bought [b:Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder|30933|Brideshead Revisited The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder|Evelyn Waugh|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1438579340s/30933.jpg|2952196] which is maybe a solid base for the re-read.
