Lessons by Ian McEwan
3.0

Will leave me with things to think about. As always with my favourite author, it’s beautifully written, at times thrillingly engaging and with such complex, real characters. Some very sad (and some more hopeful) insights about life. But! Lessons is not his best book. At times dull, and the overall messaging/narrative felt confusing, hard to follow, off?—just didn’t quite hit the note.
I suppose it might grow on me as it festers in my mind. But I was a bit disappointed.
