sadly not as good as the mcewan that i've read. i devoured the other books in a constant state of enjoyment, and i felt like i was just sort of making it through this one.

I didn't love this. The relationship is engaging at first, and I found the results believable, but among other things the last part of the book is rushed and unnecessary. I really didn't care what happened to them in later years.

A beautifully written story about lost oppotunities in love - how a rash decision can lead to a lifetime of regret.

Such a intense book in a short amount of space.

My first Ian McEwan tale I read, and didn't find it as cringey as The Cement Garden. I do recall the plot 15 years later. Well-written, and compelling.
