Picked this one up to fill one of the slots for my reading challenge over at Library Thing for the Booker prize and it's shortlisting in 2007. A novella about a young couple on their honeymoon in the 1960's . She is dreading the consummation where by contrast he is eager in anticipation. What follows is misunderstanding and different expectations that results in a bitter conclusion. The writing is beautiful as always but sadly the least favourable of those previous Mcewan novels I have enjoyed.

Enjoy and happy reading.
Received in the mail today - and full of lovely surprises! Thanks jeniwren!
I loved reading this, it's beautifully written and has lovely detail, but in the cold light of day there's not much story to it. It's still a great reading experience, but I found the 'epilogue' of Edward's life unsatisfying. Still worth reading if you're a McEwan fan.
