This was such an interesting book and I completely loved reading it. McEwan uses the metaphor of a splintered marriage to examine the precarious co-existence of spirituality and reason. Can these two ideas co-exist (i.e. can these two married people co-habitate)? The answers seems to be "almost, but not quite". McEwan manages to examine these issues with both objectivity and sensitivity, it seemed to me that he loves both of these characters and he empathizes with both points of view. I loved them both too.
