1980s Britain: Aestheticism, love, and tragedy collide.

If you're drawn to elegant prose and keen social observation, "The Line of Beauty" will not disappoint. Set against the backdrop of 1980s Thatcherite London, it offers a poignant exploration of youth, class, and longing, all from the perspective of an outsider who becomes entwined with a wealthy family—and the era's politics. It’s a novel that's both a period piece and a timeless commentary on beauty and desire.
