The Child in Time by Ian McEwan
3.0
challenging reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found this the hardest to get through of McEwan’s works that I’ve read so far. It was quite slow and was challenging and not what I expected at all! Character development was interesting and the end was surprisingly hopeful. But not my favourite.
