Review Quote

Compulsively readable… McEwan’s prose keeps its cutting edge and his books are the ones the reading public still crave… A masterly balance between research and imagination… One feels an immediate pleasure in returning to prose of uncommon clarity, unshowiness and control
Other text

Classic McEwan… It’s a pleasure from start to finish, one not to be interrupted
