À propos de ce contenu audio

Sunday Times Novel of the Year
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize

A magnificent, century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations.

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.

The Stranger’s Child 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.

Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

    With The Stranger’s Child, an already remarkable talent unfurls into something spectacular
    I would compare the novel to Middlemarch . . . a remarkable, unmissable achievement
    Elegant, seductive and extremely enjoyable . . . one of the best novels published this year
    Magnificent . . . universally acclaimed as the best novel of the year (Philip Hensher)
    Hollinghurst is a master storyteller . . . The Stranger’s Child is to be cherished (John Banville)
    Daring . . . Fresh and vital
    Brilliant . . . Hollinghurst [has] a truly Jamesian fineness of perception . . . [He is] one of the best novelists at work today
    Part social history, part social comedy and wholly absorbing, The Stranger’s Child does everything a novel should do and makes it look easy
    Beautifully written, ambitious in its scope and structure, confident in its execution, The Stranger’s Child is a masterclass in the art of the novel
    The Stranger’s Child is a comedy of manners, exuberantly funny, as well as a literary mystery
    Highly entertaining and, as always with Hollinghurst, the dialogue is immaculate and the characterization first class. . . . Every Alan Hollinghurst novel is a cause for celebration, and this spacious, elegant satire is no exception
    Fabulously involving and rich. It’s also very funny . . . An extraordinary achievement
    Elegant . . . affecting, erudite [and written] with tenderness and sensuous immediacy
    Delightful . . . Tremendously readable and engrossing
    Perfect . . . Elegant people partying on the edge of the abyss
    Intricate, witty, playful . . . Comedy of manners, investigation of class, changing political and social landscape—all the reliable pleasures that Hollinghurst’s fiction offers are here
    Ambitious, epic and satisfying
