I’m reading ‘On Chesil Beach’

And there’s really no reason anyone should care what I think of it but I like it; it’s a compelling read, study of two young newlyweds on their wedding night in 1962.

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. This one–Chesil Beach was in the top 50 of 2007 for fiction… it’s quite a short book, 208 pages (I looked). It’s hardcover, about the size of a pocketbook/paperback. Kinda nice. 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. :)
