    British author Alan Hollinghurst received the Man Booker Prize for his fourth book, The Line of Beauty, an elegiac account of cash, cars, cocaine, and coming out in 1980s London. Celebrated for his intrepid achievements in gay fiction since his debut with The Swimming-Pool Library, Hollinghurst’s novels are enriched with a playful wit and a powerful eroticism. The Stranger’s Child is a saga that begins in 1913, the last summer before the First World War, and spans the 20th century, depicting the intrusion of war and the unfolding drama of a literary conceit.
