On Chesil Beach

On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwan Very well-written examination of what happens when two people who love each other very much fail to communicate. Excruciating and claustrophobic and horribly sad and exquisitely harrowing. I don't think I liked it at all. I certainly loathed the characters, even as I felt sorry for them.I have no idea how to assign stars- 4 stars for quality of writing, -3 stars for having to be in the bedroom with these two clowns. I'll compromise with 3.I really loved the interview with the author on the last CD.
