On Chesil Beach

Cover On Chesil Beach
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
Listened to this one as read by Mr McEwen, and with violin music helpfully inserted as background music so as to enhance the experience..... such an intensely graphic examination of a relationship through the minute introspection of a couple on their dysfunctional wedding night. At the dawn of the sexual revolution, neither of them really understand the physical implications of their formalised relationship, so that despite sharing what they both feel as all consuming love, their fumbling efforts drive them apart, and change their lives for ever. As events unfold, McEwen fills in the back stories of each protagonist, so that the picture starts with the wedding disaster, and our understanding evolves as the detail is added. A curious portrait, at times idyllic and beautiful, at others tortured. Mesmerising.
