About the Book

The story of a life. The story of the year. 'Lessons shows [McEwan] at the very peak of his powers. He has written his masterpiece' Daily Telegraph When the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes, and he is left alone with their baby son. Her disappearance sparks of journey of discovery that will continue for decades, as Roland confronts the reality of his rootless existence and attempts to embrace the uncertainty - and freedom - of his future. 'Ian McEwan is a masterful storyteller' Elif Shafak 'A beautiful book about love, loss and regret' Observer 'Luminous, beautifully written... about lives imperfectly lived' Vogue 'A whole, unruly life between the covers of a single book: a literary feat' Spectator 'A tour de force... A single life is silhouetted against global happenings' Sunday Times * A Book of the Year for The Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times, Spectator, New Statesman, Washington Post, Vogue and New Yorker *

Review :
Lessons is easily McEwan's most accomplished novel since Atonement... he offers intelligent reflection on his novel's evergreen themes. I loved Lessons... Deep, life-affirming and A-grade storytelling. Thoughtful, tender and both universal and timeless in its depiction of the follies of the human heart... Ian McEwan is a masterful storyteller who weaves destiny and self-determination, the past and the future, youth and age, and above all, the loss and memory of love. Captures youthful lust and late-age regret with equal power. Superb... another mesmerising, memorable novel. Irresistible and a joy to read. McEwan's writing is as elegant and ideas-packed as ever. Elegant and moving, it's his best work in 20 years. McEwan returns with his best work since the Booker- and NBCC-winning Atonement...Throughout, McEwan poignantly shows how the characters contend with major historical moments while dealing with the ravages of daily life, which is what makes this so affecting. He also employs lyrical but pared-down prose to great effect . . . Once more, the masterly McEwan delights. McEwan deftly explores the interplay of will and chance, time and memory.
