Beschreibung
Nick Guest, a young man from humble beginnings and a recent Oxford graduate, gets the opportunity to share a household with the family of conservative MP Gerald Fedden. However, in the lavish London home of the Feddens, the shy, cultured Nick, who craves everything refined and stylish, certainly does not feel like just a lodger. He fully embraces the Feddens – the ambitious careerist Gerald, his noble wife Rachel, their son Toby, his platonic love, and their manic-depressive daughter Catherine – as his second family. But then comes first true love, first introduction to the London gay scene, first line of cocaine, first encounter with AIDS. An outstanding novel for which the author won the Booker Prize in 2004.
