Recensioner i media

A classic of our times ... The work of a great English stylist in full maturity. A masterpiece Observer As good as the English novel gets. Almost every sentence is a thing of beauty Sunday Telegraph There is something memorable on every page ... there is much to savour in The Line of Beauty, not least its humour, a shivering yet morally exacting satire that leaves no character untouched Times Literary Supplement Hollinghurst can make language do what he wants ... It makes a lot of contemporary fiction seem thin and underachieving. A brilliantly comical and accurate satire upon the high noon of Mrs Thatcher Evening Standard The immaculate rolling cadences of his novel are the keenest pleasure English prose has to offer Daily Telegraph
