About this book

In this tour de force of psychological unease, now a major motion picture starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Sinead Cusack, McEwan excavates the ruins of childhood and uncovers things that most adults have spent a lifetime forgetting or denying. "Possesses the suspense and chilling impact of Lord of the Flies."--Washington Post Book World.
