What the critics say

Superbly evocative prose. The novel's vision of Europe is acute and alive, vivid in its moral complexities
- New York Times Book Review

Brilliant - a meditation on the intoxications of violence and the redemptive power of love
- New Yorker

Compassionate without resorting to sentimentality, clever without ever losing its honesty, an undisguised novel of ideas which is also Ian McEwan's most human work
- Times Literary Supplement
