No idea what this one's about, but it's won the '87 Whitbread Prize for Fiction.
It's nice to find a book with a truly happy ending, but trawling through the terribly slow middle part meant that I was so glad to get there that I didn't appreciate it as much as I could have!
Will be passing this on very shortly.

I LOVE receiving surprises in my mailbox. Thank you so much Kleptokitty!
So, as I have your explicit authorization to take my time, I'll keep it for next summer where my life should be a little bit quieter than right now :o)

I couldn't wait until the summer :o)
I agree that this is a very slow book, and it took me a long time to be caught by the story. But still, I like Ian McEwan's style very much: he mixes up very realistic thougths and events with unprobable events and magical thinking. His books picture a very strange world.
However, by the same author, I definitively prefer "The Cement Garden" or "Atonement".
