Which book did you vote for as YOUR Whitbread Book of the Year?

Alan Hollinghurst
Alan Hollinghurst is the author of three previous novels, The Swimming-Pool Library, The Folding Star and The Spell.  Born in Gloucestershire in 1954, he studied at Oxford where he then went on to teach.  He was the Deputy Editor of Times Literary Supplement for some years.  Alan Hollinghurst lives in London and The Line of Beauty won the 2004 Man Booker Prize.
In the summer of 1983, 20-year old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: Tory MP Gerald, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their two children, Toby – whom Nick had idolised at Oxford – and Catherine.  Starting at the moment The Swimming-Pool Library ended, The Line of Beauty traces the further history of a decade of change and tragedy.
