![]() ![]() The start of the novel centres around the funeral of Molly Lane (brilliant character name) who ‘could still turn a perfect cartwheel at the age of forty-six’ which I think is a brilliant way of summing up someone we never actually meet in a novel but who’s death and affairs it centres around.Īt the funeral are at least three of her ex-lovers whom she would still entertain whilst she was married to her husband George. This book is one of McEwan’s books that show exactly why I think he is a great writer and why I love his novels. I don’t know what the longlist was that year, I will look it up, yet I think its win is deserved. Despite the fact that it had it written in massive letters on the front it wasn’t until I was half way in that I saw that ‘Amsterdam’ had won the Man Booker Prize in 1998. My Gran simply cannot understand why I like Ian McEwan novels and I simply do not understand why she cannot like them. ![]()
