Paperback
(Vintage Canada May 8, 2018)
The official movie tie-in edition of Ian McEwan's exquisite, bestselling novel: the basis for the major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan, Emily Watson, Anne-Marie Duff, and Samuel West.
England, 1962: Florence and Edward are celebrating their wedding in a hotel on the Dorset coast. Yet as they dine, the expectation of their marital duties become overwhelming. Unbeknownst to them both, the decisions they make this night will resonate throughout their lives. With exquisite prose, Ian McEwan creates a story of lives transformed by a gesture not made or a word not spoken--and brilliantly illuminates the collision of sexual longing, deep-seated fears, and romantic fantasy on a young couple's wedding night.
