Sometimes the Worst Thing is to Say Nothing at All,
By
This review is from: On Chesil Beach (Paperback)
Married now on that first night, their honeymoon, "they were alone then, and theoretically free to do whatever they wanted, but they went on eating dinner they had no appetite for."Quirkily you are sure that it is the mid 1800's and that Florence is in a long high-necked dress, and Edward is in an overly starched white shirt and very well creased black pants to match his suit coat. But no, it is the mid 1900's. At just over 200 pages, McEwan deftly makes Florence and Edward so believably real and their character deep and complex. Ian McEwan has the artistry to turn a single day into a full rich story of Florence and Edward's every nuance, gesture and tone. The story is deeply beautiful and sad. Ahh, sometimes the worst thing is to say nothing at all. |
