Ian McEwan wrote Fındık Kabuğu and inspired by #k:1651. The plot begins with an unborn child that the author does not share the gender or name, and it progress by it's surroundings. It is basically a betrayal story. Our carrier, mom, is Trudy Cairncross, Claude as uncle and father John Cairncross. In the beginning of the it is clearly stated that mother has an affair with Claude. They are having sex and planning something. The narrator tries to estimate their plan by listening their conversation in it's mother's womb. Since, sometimes there are different factors around surroundings it is not possible. In first chapters it is clear to see that Trudy is the oppressive character over Claude and John. Just because she is still married with John, Claude does everything that Trudy wants. Also, John, who is a poet, has a emotional character. That is why, he does not want to give up on his love and tries his chance. Our narrator mentions about some of the memories of it's parents. One day John reads poem for Trudy which she hates, but John has intese feelings and every letter of the poem has a meaning for him. This indicates that John still loves his wife yet her doesn't carry the same feelings against her. She always lies to him to stay with his brother Claude. Unlike his brother Claude is someone callous. He doesn't such abilty to write poem. In a chapter John tries his chance to be forgiven by her and stay with his wife like old days but eventually he is rejected one more time. The reason is his brother, Claude, is someone manipulaitve and addicted to sex. After the last rejection everything changes, Claude and Trudy makes sneaky plan to kill John, because he tells them to find another place to live. He dedicated to move into his own house and he comes to the place with different woman. John's aim is to make her jealous but this move brings his death. Our couple prepares a poisinous drink for him and they become successful. John is found dead in roadside. After John's death Trudy's life becomes upside down as our author says, because Claude becomes more oppressive on Trudy that he wants to make her sell the house. After, interrogations they started threaten each other to show who is in authority. Until that part, we also see the emotions and ideas of our narrator. He loves his father because he sees what is happening between his mother and uncle. He wants to stop everything because he hates his uncle because of his abuses. After his father's death narrator also feels desperate and clinges to mother because it has nobody else in it's life. In the last chapters the couple learns the true story which is John never left loving her and everything was fake. The woman he brought was not his new love. Also, they understood that officers will catch them and Claude forces her to run away. The day they decided to run, narrator does his last move and be born. In that scene Claude takes out his mask and shows how selfish and narcist he is. He threatens her to not to call ambulance if she does not tell where she is hiding his passport. Eventually they got caught by the justice. Here it is stated by the speeches that poetic justice comes true and the narrator accepts his fate and comes to the world even if it knows that he will be either in foster house or in jail. I really enjoyed while reading this short novel, because it keeps a lot of mysteries in itself. Also, the language both translator and the author is impressive. I thank to them in presence of you dear readers. I strongly recommend you to read this masterpiece.
