Detailed item info
Synopsis
This slim, subtle, and devastating novella from Ian McEwan uses surgical precision to expose the psychological slips and physical mischances that threaten to ruin a young couple's happiness on their wedding night. The novel is set in the early 1960s, in a time when sexuality still had an aura of the arcane and forbidden, and Edward and Florence's first sexual encounter has become a source of anxiety and apprehension for both of them, though for very different reasons. With an adroit touch, McEwan traces the interpersonal feints and parries between the two young lovers, and shows how the slightest action or inaction can make a life skid toward tragedy.

Publisher's Note
Recently married, a young couple--Florence, a talented musician and shy daughter of an aloof Oxford academic and a successful businessman, and Edward an earnest history student with little experience of women--looks forward to the future, but cannot help but worry about their upcoming wedding night. By the author of Atonement. 200,000 first printing.

Industry reviews
"Not quite novel or novella, McEwen's masterful 13th work of fiction most resembles a five-part classical drama rendered in prose....[His] flawless omniscient narration has a...fable-like quality." (starred review)
 (03/05/2007)

"[A] memorable expose of how terrible wounds can be inflicted and the entire course of a life changed--by doing nothing."
 (03/31/2007)

"ON CHESIL BEACH achieves its overwhelming suspense without recourse to romantic fabulation, to mystery and imagination, or to brilliant tricks and turns...[yet] the new book is as least as good as any he has written."
 (04/06/2007)

"Heartbreaking....[ON CHESIL BEACH] lets you see just how wrong everything can go, how fast, and how irrevocably."
 (05/01/2007)

"Sexual squeamishness has never been written about more adroitly or sympathetically."
 (06/08/2007)
