Trade ReviewPowerful... Unforgettable * Sunday Telegraph *
His best yet, which I should make clear is saying a great deal * Observer *
Brilliant...a meditation on the intoxications of violence and the redemptive power of love * New Yorker *
Superbly evocative prose... The novel's vision of Europe is acute and alive, vivid in its moral complexities * New York Times Book Review *
Compassionate without resorting to sentimentality, clever without ever losing its honesty, an undisguised novel of ideas which is also Ian McEwan's most human work * Times Literary Supplement *
