Om denne bog
<p><b>A century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations.<br><br>With an introduction by Anthony Quinn.</b><br><br><b><i>The Stranger's Child</i> was a <i>Sunday Times</i> Novel of the Year.</b><br><br>In the late summer of 1913, George Sawle brings his Cambridge friend Cecil Valance, a charismatic young poet, to visit his family home. The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for everyone, but it is on George’s sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact. As the decades pass, Daphne and those around her endure startling changes in fortune and circumstance and, as reputations rise and fall, the events of that long-ago summer become part of a legendary story.<br><br>Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, <i>The Stranger’s Child</i> is Hollinghurst’s masterly exploration of English culture, taste and attitudes. Epic in sweep, it intimately portrays a luminous but changing world and the ways memory – and myth – can be built and broken. It is a powerful and utterly absorbing modern classic.</p>
