wow
This is only the second Ian McEwan book that I have read but it certainly won't be the last!!From the mesmerising first chapter, where I was literally breathless, until the very satisfying and surprising conclusion I could think of little else. My mind was constantly thinking of possibilities that could have caused the dilemmas experienced by the extremely lifelike characters. McEwan has a way of drawing the reader in to become a silent bystander as the story unfolds. His descriptions are so realistic that at times I would re-read his phrases just for sheer enjoyment. This is a book to be savoured..not a fast read but highly recommended.
