Book Review of On Chesil Beach

On Chesil Beach
On Chesil Beach
Author: Ian McEwan
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


McEwan is an artist! This is a very subtle picture of a different time when marriage was loaded with so much baggage it's a wonder anyone tried it. This story reminds the reader of the importance of communication between human beings, especially wife and husband. You ache for these characters at the same time you want to shake some of them!
