Synopsis
Winner of The Booker Prize 1998.
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.

External Reviews
"A psychologically brilliant study of heartlessness." - Sunday Telegraph.
"One of the finest writers alive." - Sunday Times.
"A sharp contemporary morality tale, cleverly disguised as a comic novel, Amsterdam is "a dark tour de force, perfectly fashioned" - The New York Times.
"Full of gusto, straightforward, and delivers blows to the gut . . . shocking." - Literary Review.
"McEwan writes here with unobtrusive panache." - Daily Telegraph.
"Utterly amazing. You kind of think it may happen but are lost for words when it does. The book is thoughtful, poignant and never more relative than it is today but also a timeless classic." - Waterstones Review.
