“Ah, well, Ian McEwan. It's not fair for one man to have so much to say and such a beautiful voice to say it with. Yikes! It's a little scary. What I particularly like here is the feeling of inevitable doom that echoes Hardy. We know that these characters are trapped as surely as Tess and Angel by who and what they are. We want them to rise above the inevitable and be happy, but who can do that? Wonderfully written. Grade: A-.”
