About This Novel

This book has the appearance of children's literature, but it is also a book about children written for adults in a language that children can understand. Through seven carefully connected story fragments, it tells a set of daydreams of a ten-year-old boy, Peter, thus showing a mysterious journey, transformation and adventure in childhood that astonishes adults. Living between dreams and reality, Peter put himself into the body of a baby, a rag doll, an adult, or even a cat, and experienced unprecedented transposition and transformation. Standing at the beginning of his growth, he questioned the order, vulgarity, and greed of the adult world. In the process of the gradual superposition of the adult world and the childlike world, the children's vision slowly disappears, the adult lens fades in, and the last article looks back at the world and the way it came from the eyes of Peter, who has grown up to ten years after waking up. This also fulfills McEwan's original intention - what is more suitable for cunningly and skillfully interrogating reality than fairy tale fantasy?
