Recensioner i media

"Compulsively readable... McEwan's prose keeps its cutting edge and his books are the ones the reading public still crave... A masterly balance between research and imagination... One feels an immediate pleasure in returning to prose of uncommon clarity, unshowiness and control" The Times "Classic McEwan... It's a pleasure from start to finish, one not to be interrupted" Guardian "A powerful, humane novel" Evening Standard "One of the finest writers alive" Sunday Times "McEwan writes as beautifully and elegantly as ever, his prose quintessentially English in its restraint, one meticulously chosen word hinting at depths of emotion" Washington Post
