"Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home--a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse--but John's not here. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers"--
This book is more accessible than many of Ian McEwan's others, but is equally beautifully written. With strong echoes of Hamlet, this book is written from the unique vantage point of a fetus. Highly recommended
