Hasten to add: I read it four years ago, pre-Hollywood hype. It remains connected to an intellectual crush on a teacher at school, for he noticed the (rather substantial), novel in my hand, and congratulated me on my taste. Ah, those days of innocence... Enduring Love is my favourite McEwan offering, personally. If you haven't read that, you should. It's incredibly disturbing, because he really gets into the minds of the characters, and makes them so credible it doesn't seem like fiction at all. I like everything he's written. Really keeps you interested until the very end. xxx I love this novel. Hasten to add: I read it four years ago, pre-Hollywood hype.
