Amsterdam

En infernalsk historie om venskaber og magtkampe - moral og anstændighed. Om kvinden Molly, der dør, og de fire (!) mænd hun efterlader; ægtemanden George og tre elskere, hvoraf de to forenes i fælles afsky for den tredje. Historien ender i Amsterdam, og slutningen kommer unægtelig bag på de efterladte mænd.

Two old friends - Clive 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, and to their doom. 'The novel twists and turns unexpectedly...McEwan has a master's control over his instrument' Sunday Times
