This is McEwan at what he does best: getting away with an almost unbelievable plot angle while laying bare the deadly and often banal emotional core of intimates. A good counterpart for anyone who likes the terrific movie <i>Don't Look Now</i>, also set in Venice. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/158374?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
