Sweet Tooth
by Ian McEwan
I seem to either love or dislike Ian McEwan's novels. I adored Enduring Love, but think I was too young when I read Atonement, and I have to say that I was also not impressed with Sweet Tooth. For me the author does not have a very authentic female voice, and Serena was never believable. I never became totally immersed in the story, as a lot of it felt a bit like showing off. I liked the ending, but it was not enough to change my mind. My opinion of this book is in the minority, so please don't let it put you off reading Sweet Tooth.
The Story: Sweet Tooth deals with the experiences of its protagonist, Serena Frome, during the early 1970s. After graduating from Cambridge she is recruited by MI5, and becomes involved in a covert program to combat communism by infiltrating the intellectual world. When she becomes romantically involved with her mark, complications ensue.
