It is July 1962. Edward and Florence, young innocents married that morning, arrive at a hotel on the Dorset coast. At dinner in their rooms they struggle to suppress their private fears of the wedding night to come...

Nice. Easy to read.
I bought the book on my holiday, because I ran out of books to read. I have meant to buy one off his books before. I read in a interw whith the singer in my favoritt band, that he had to read Ian McEwans books so soon as they came out, so I new what to bay. (They only had ca.10 books in english in the bookshop, so it wasn`t hard to choose.)

I have send this book to NICNIC2 in Scottland.

Woo!!! Thank you very much for granting one of my wishes. I'm looking forward to reading this one :)

On its way to Boekentroll in a RABCK parcel. Hope you enjoy it!!

Thank you very much, NICNIC2 for sending this as RABCK to me.
I look forward to read it very much!! Hope it won't be very long before I get to it. I'll let you know what I think of it afterwards.

When I'm completely honest, I must admit that I was annoyed out of my wits by this book.

The way young couples lived through their engagement and prepared for their wedding day was completely different in the time the book describes. But I was annoyed at both of them for not talking. Well, about futilities and all, they did, but not about what really mattered.
They gave up too quickly, I think.

Apart from that annoyance, I disliked the built of this book. I would have preferred a more straight line, instead of its jumping back and forth.

Edited to correct a typo.

This book is now on its way to the winner of the Maritime Sweepstakes.
Congratulations!!

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of.

**** Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option. ****
