Media Reviews
Exhilarating * Independent *
Ian McEwan writes stories of exquisite precision and clarity * Evening Standard *
As far-fetched and funny as anything by Roald Dahl * Vogue *
Perfectly judged, scary, poignant, meaningful; he makes it look easy, but this is brilliantly achieved * Guardian *
These stories are so good, as acute about childhood preoccupations, and at times as disturbing as you would expect * Harpers & Queen *
