Lessons by Ian McEwan

3.0

Reading Hearts Invisible Furies was such a wonderful experience, I just had to read Lessons.

It was nothing that I expected at all. The sexual abuse and repeated sexual encounters that were described throughout the book in great detail were not pleasant to experience.

There was great character development and plot development. Parts of the book were very overly descriptive and excessive.

This is the story of Roland and his life from the time he is 14 and in private school until he is an elderly man. He experiences many international conflicts and wars and many changes of life and society. This is a story of complex relationships that keep coming back to you at various stages of life.
