Winner of the Booker Prize "A dark tour de force, perfectly fashioned." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "A well-oiled machine....Ruthless and amusing." -- The New York Times Book Review "Beautifully spare prose, wicked observation, and dark comic brio." -- The Boston Globe "At once far-reaching and tightly self-contained, a fin de siécle phantasmagoria." -- New York "Ian McEwan has proven himself to be one of Britain's most distinct voices and one of its most versatile talents....Chilling and darkly comic." -- Chicago Tribune "By far his best work to date...an energizing tightrope between feeling and lack of feeling, between humanity's capacity to support and save and its equally ubiquitous penchant for detachment and cruelty." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "You won't find a more enjoyable novel...masterfully wrought, sure to delight a reader with even half a sense of humor." -- The Atlant Journal-Constitution "McEwan writes the sort of witty repartee and scathing retort we wished we thought of in the heat of battle.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
