Book description
As their holiday unfolds, Colin and Maria are locked into their own
intimacy. They groom themselves meticulously, as though there waits
someone who cares deeply about how they appear. Then they meet a man
with a disturbing story to tell and become drawn into a fantasy of
violence and obsession. Ian McEwan is the author of two collections of
stories and twelve previous novels, including
Enduring Love
, Amsterdam
, for which he won the Booker Prize in 1998, Atonement
and, most recently, Solar.
