I read on the jacket blurb that author Ian McEwan “is the master clockmaster of novelists.”

Nicely said and very high praise from… Oh, no surprise(lol) the NYTtimes.com Book Review which I sometimes read if a book sounds compelling.

Anyway, one more post tonight, maybe a comment at GBee’s as she responded to one of mine on a humour post of hers…Niiight.
