A brilliant, emotionally wrenching new novel from the author of Atonement and Amsterdam.
Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of seventeen books. His first published work, a collection of short stories, First Love, Last Rites, won the Somerset Maugham Award. His novels include The Child in Time, which won the 1987 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award; The Cement Garden; Enduring Love; Amsterdam, which won the 1998 Booker Prize; Atonement; Saturday; On Chesil Beach; Solar; Sweet Tooth; The Children Act; and Nutshell, which was a Number One bestseller. Atonement and Enduring Love have both been turned into award-winning films, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach are in production and set for release this year, and filming is currently underway for a BBC TV adaptation of The Child in Time.
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
*The Times*
Classic McEwan… It’s a pleasure from start to finish, one not to be
interrupted
*Guardian*
A powerful, humane novel
*Evening Standard*
One of the finest writers alive
*Sunday Times*
McEwan writes as beautifully and elegantly as ever, his prose
quintessentially English in its restraint, one meticulously chosen
word hinting at depths of emotion
*Washington Post*
