For the many Ian McEwan fans, Lessons will not disappoint. McEwan’s acute introspection forces his readers to pay close attention to a life few of us would want to live. A childhood spent in Libya while his stepfather serves in the British military, a troubling experience with his piano teacher during his boarding school years, a seemingly good marriage before his wife suddenly disappears, and his struggle explaining to his young son what happened, when he himself has no idea, inform this tale. Small shocks throughout these pages won’t allow you to put it down.
