Lessons
by Ian McEwan
It took a while for me to really get into it. The beginning was slow and the paperback does not offer the best reading experience - it is one of those compact books with small letters and tight line spacing.
That being said, eventually the story got me. After the first hundred pages or so I was quite invested. I would describe it as comprehensive. A person's story from beginning to end (sort of).
I particularly enjoyed the way that perspective shifts throughout the book, the depth of emotion, the heartbreak and hope that permeate throughout. The author comes across as a patient craftsman. Steady and confident in his narrative and story knowing that if you stick with him you are in for a ride.
