Love doesn't grow at a steady rate, but advances in surges, bolts, wild leaps, and this was one of those.
On par with his last novel, Solar, this book is reasonably enjoyable but not as much so as some of his previous work.
Clever. There's a thin veneer of a spy story, but that's not really what this book is about. None of the characters are especially likeable, but they are all telling stories and some of the stories are about themselves. We know some of the stories are untrue, and others we wonder about. Even though I didn't like the characters at all (well, there was one marginal character I liked for his authenticity who was absent for most of the story), I wanted to know what was going to happen in their stories and what they would make of themselves.
McEwan hits the nail on the head narrating as a female (seems to me as a male!) a tough thing to do indeed. An interesting plot with a few twists and turns keep you glued till the surprising end
