Winner of the 1998 Booker Prize, Ian McEwan paints a darkly elegant comedy about the fierce nature of friendship and the deathly grip of love. Two old friends join a funeral for Molly Lane, outside a crematorium. Both Clive, Britain’s most successful modern composer and Vernon, editor of The Judge, had been her lovers before their careers took off. But the throng on that cold February day also included many of Molly’s other lovers, notably a man poised to become England’s next prime minister. The funeral sets off a strange chain of events, transforming the lives of Molly’s lovers in Amsterdam. | Amsterdam by Ian McEwan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
