But where Hollinghurst’s Booker prizewinner was something of a swan song to the decadence of 80s Tory rule, The Party skewers the Conservatives of the Cameron years. She is an award-winning journalist and has written extensively for The Telegraph, The Times, the Guardian, the Observer, Vogue, Elle and the Evening Standard. The wife of an adversary is “the snub-nose type who doesn’t age well, whose freckles turn into liver spots and whose youthful, lithe flat-chestedness becomes bony and weathered as the years pass”.Photograph: Martin Godwin/The Guardian Elizabeth Day: ‘skewers the Conservatives of the Cameron years’.

A través de los relatos alternados de Martin Gilmour y su esposa Lucy, alternando con flashbacks de la juventud de Martin, iremos conociendo los hechos.He disfrutado mucho de esta novela, que es de este tipo de lecturas que la vas saboreando porque te gusta el estilo en el que se desenvuelve la autora, inteligente e irónica, y al mismo tiempo te mantiene enganchada, pero enganchada no de una forma tramposa, sino que Elizabeth Day mantiene el ritmo con una destreza poco habitual, ya que lo habitual es que los autores mantengan el enganche del lector con trampas varias y estiramientos de chicle, pero éste no es el caso. Ben, who hails from old money, and Martin, who grew up poor but is slowly carving out a successful career as an art critic, have been inseparable since childhood.
