Joy
Such a joy. Ian McEwan is a favourite of mine however I was nervous of the storyline as not in the mood for a heavy story. How wrong could I be? The mix of stories is genius. Absolute genius.

Aimless stumbling from character to character a disjointed storyline
No end result of the missing child even the ending is left with answers. Going from one scene to next past to present aimless and confusing quite a depressing book

Beautifully written and narrated
Although this begins with a crime, this is not a crime story. It’s about deep and dark grief. It’s also about how it is possible to somehow find a glimpse of hope for a way out of it. Ian McEwan has an amazing way with words and the narrator, Nathaniel Parker delivers them perfectly.

Drab
I could not get into this story. Very slow. Too deep and metaphorical. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen.
