Media Reviews
Haunting and compelling * The Times *
No reader will begin The Comfort of Strangers and fail to finish it; a black magician is at work * New York Times *
This compelling, driven novel explores what it might be like to lose yourself forever * Guardian *
His writing is exact, tender, funny, voluptuous, disturbing * The Times *
McEwan, that master of the taciturn macabre, so organises his narrative that, without insisting anything, every turn and glimpse is another tightening of the noose * Observer *
