Ian McEwan

The Child in Time

Cams Campbell

I enjoyed this a lot. I read it because I'd heard Kelly Macdonald interviewed on BBC6 Music and thought the story sounded intriguing. It was. I always try to read books before watching TV adaptations, so that's what I did. 

I loved this story, and the writing style was right up my street too. It reminded me a little of a British John Irving, although it is the first Ian McEwan novel I've read whereas I've read a few of Irving's. It's a book I can see myself rereading and recommending.
