This book marks McEwan's early explorations into psychological tension and moral ambiguity, laying the groundwork for the intense emotional complexity seen in his later works. It’s a challenging but thought-provoking read that dives deep into the uncomfortable truths of the human condition.
"Sex was an emotion in motion. We were weightless, lost to each other, afloat in each other’s darkness where our cries echoed like the cries of children lost in a forest."
"We lived in a world of our own making, my sister and I. The past was another place, another country, no one lived there anymore."
