Wow.😱 This is one of those times that I really wish book 2 was available because McEwan just broke my brain. I have enjoyed her books since the first one she wrote, but this feels like a whole new level of expertise and tension has been achieved. It gave Blood Over Bright Haven meets Peaky Blinders, so if that speaks to your soul, enjoy! I will be not-so-patiently waiting for the next part in the tale.
