Beautifully written, McEwan’s books are always so amazing at capturing the nuisances of human psychology and consciousness. The storyline is sad but beautiful and is really good and representing the excitement of youth but how
It was all taken away over one moment, but regardless the war itself was what took Cecilia away from robbie.

the movie was better and not just because of Kiera Knightly and James McAvoy, although I am literally obsessed with them.
