Amsterdam

by Ian McEwan

Book Description
The winner of the 1998 Booker Prize, AMSTERDAM is Ian McEwan's most playful, wickedly disarming, and purely enjoyable novel to date, a contemporary morality tale that is as profound as it is witty. On a chilly February day, two old friends meet in the throng outside a crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence among London's cultural elite. Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers, too, notably Foreign Secretary Julian Garmony, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact with consequences neither can foresee, and Julian Garmony will be forced to fight for his political life. And why Amsterdam? What happens there to Clive and Vernon is the most delicious shock in a novel brimming with suprises.
