Helpful Score: 1
McEwan is a master storyteller. "On Chesil Beach" is a beautifully written story of a newly married couple circa early 60s and failed expectations and actions.
While the story itself is well written, the plot is slightly trite and not very complex.
Certainly thought provoking but not enough for the current times.
The reader for all their gnashing of teeth for the characters and hoping that things will turn out better in a moment, just make this story frustrating. Failed loves of not so epic proportions tend to fail.
