Wow! I just finished this book last night and am still digesting it. This is a story of a misunderstanding that compounds on itself, leading to horrible repercussions. It was extremely well-written. McEwan draws you into the psyche of each character. I found myself sympathizing with almost all of them--even when I despised their behavior. I would recommend this to anyone that loves to be absorbed by excellent literature.
