Description

It is the summer of 1983, and young Nick Guest, an innocent in the matters of politics and money, has moved into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: Gerald, an ambitious new Tory MP, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their children Toby and Catherine. Nick had idolized Toby at Oxford, but in his London life it will be the troubled Catherine who becomes his friend and his uneasy responsibility. At the boom years of the mid-80s unfold, Nick becomes caught up in the Feddens' world. In an era of endless possibility, Nick finds himself able to pursue his own private obsession, with beauty a prize as compelling to him as power and riches are to his friends.

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.
