Editorial Reviews
"Superbly evocative prose. The novel's vision of Europe is acute and alive, vivid in its moral complexities" - New York Times Book Review
"Brilliant - a meditation on the intoxications of violence and the redemptive power of love" - New Yorker
"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
