Description
A work by English writer and Booker Prize laureate Ian McEwan (born 1948). It is difficult to pin down by genre. Here you’ll find elements of a detective story, a psychological thriller, and a historical drama—and perhaps most importantly, a novella about true love. The novel’s events take place in the postwar period, in the capital of Germany—Berlin—at the boundary between East and West. The backdrop includes real events, though it’s hard to believe in their reality: they’re so similar to a grim farce. The main plot line follows the adventures of a young Englishman who, against his will, becomes involved in a terrible tragedy. Written in a concise and extraordinarily expressive style, the novel stands as one of the peaks of both the author’s work and modern English prose as a whole.
