Book description
In the relentless summer heat, four abruptly orphaned children retreat
into a shadowy, isolated world, and find their own strange and
unsettling ways of fending for themselves... 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.
