Booker prize winner Ian McEwan has been writing novels for more than 40 years. Much-loved copies of Amsterdam, Atonement and On Chesil Beach sit on bookshelves across the world, and fans of the writer will soon be able to add another title to their collection: Lessons, a novel described by McEwan’s publisher as the author’s “most epic book to date”.
The new novel follows protagonist Roland Baines from his childhood at boarding school to his adult life, when his wife disappears and he is left to care for their young son alone.
