Amsterdam : Winner of the Booker Prize 1998

***WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE***Two old friends Cline Linley and Vernon Halliday meet at the funeral of gorgeous, witty Molly Lane. Both men had been Molly s lovers years before their dazzling success; Clive is Britain s most eminent modern composer and Vernon is the editor of the respected broadsheet, The Judge. In the weeks that follow, Clive and Vernon s lives become bound together in ways neither could have imagined. Two dubious moral decisions and a pact made in extremis lead them both to the heart of Amsterdam.
