Itty Bitty Book review: "Nutshell"

"Nutshell" by Ian McEwan


This was a choice for my "Liz" bookclub....relatively young folks still working. It's really fun to chat with these women.  I had started this novel when it came out three years ago (I usually buy McEwan in hardback) and surprised myself by putting it down and not going back to it. Well, I was going through the cancer thing at the time. That may have had something to do with it. This time I loved it from the beginning and thought it was quite brilliant...well, not as brilliant as "Atonement" but still pretty good.

McEwas has written two novels since "Machines like Me" and "Cockroach".  Both will be coming on Amazon soon.

I host next time and we're doing "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng.
