Book Description
In this tour de force of psychological unease--now a major motion picture starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Sinead Cusack--McEwan excavates the ruins of childhood and uncovers things that most adults have spent a lifetime forgetting--or denying. "Possesses the suspense and chilling impact of Lord of the Flies."--Washington Post Book World.
My Review
I enjoyed this book and Ian McEwan's writing. The character's are very well drawn and the plot is the driving force of the novel. The subject matter of adolescent incest between brother and sister is disturbing and unsettling yet the book is a page-turner until the very end. I recommend this book as it is a chilling tale of suspense and survival.
