Ian McEwan is one of my most inspiring novelists. Not only does he capture the natural elements of relationships today, but in On Chesil Beach he manages to depict the pure essence of life, and regrets. This book I did find initially really weird, however once the book comes to it's ending chapter, everything seems to fit together like a puzzle. The story is not complicated, it just goes on and on about one particular evening the night of a marital commitment. It is a particularly sad novel, but yet it intrigued me, how you can love someone but yet due to stubbornness or protection of one self you let it pass you by- literally. Inspiring ending to a novel- made me think really, really deeply afterwards.
***- 3 Star Rating
