Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

On a chilly February day two old friends meet in the throng outside a crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence, Clive as Britain's most successful modern composer, Vernon as editor of the quality broadsheet, The Judge.Gorgeous, feisty Molly had had other lovers too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister.

In the days that follow Molly's funeral Clive and Vernon will make a pact that will have consequences neither has foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life.

Continuous playback issues & jumping forward & back ruined my enjoyment of this otherwise enjoyable book, made the end impossible to listen to. Would not delete for me to reload. Please sort this issue Audible

The narrator was bad. At the start. He. Kept on pausing. In the wrong places. But he got better and better, and I found him excellent by the end. I enjoyed the book through most of it until the end. Disappointing ending.

We never found out who Molly was. The characters are interesting, but they just end up being pointless. It's almost as if the author got halfway through the book and then decided he'd had enough and finished it. Goodness knows why this is a Booker Prize winner!

Disappointing

Not my favourite. Maybe be I just didn't like any of the characters - pompous and dull and self centred. Never mind.

Meh

Darkly amusing commentary on the social elite, well observed and delivered with requisite and delightful absurdity.

Good Read, Excellent narration

What I like about McEwan's novels is the well drawn characters, their journey and the twist turning plots that would not be out of place in a thriller. He is consistently good, and I have yet to read/listen to a bad McEwan. Very highly recommended and packs so much into a very short piece.

A GREAT NOVEL FROM A GREAT WRITER.
