Sean Randall reviewed The children act by Ian McEwan
Review of 'The children act' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This got under my skin and lodged there. I think I rate it so highly because of how real it seems, how vivid and present the impacts of judgement, how strong and complex the motivations and relationships. It's not a read for everybody, there's a depth and a profusion of words not remotely suited to everyone and perhaps the rich social elite, their drinks and soirees and music are too much. But that realism shone through for me and kept me thinking about things.
