Both Clive Linleyand Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence. Clive as Britain's most successful modern composer. Vernon as editor of the quality broadsheet. The Judge. A contemporary morality tale that is as profound asit is witty. this short novel is perhaps the most purely enjoyable fiction Ian McEwan has ever written. And why Amsterdam? What happens there to Clive and Vernon is the most delicious shock in a novel brimming with surprises.Weight in Kg appr.:
