About This Novel
"The Concrete Garden" is one of McEwan's two "small masterpieces" and one of his most acclaimed masterpieces. This story told by a fifteen-year-old boy who was in the rebellious period of youth is indeed a bit sensational from a secular perspective. After their parents died one after another, the four children - Julie, Jack, Sue and Tom - were trapped in the cement garden like prisoners in the vast world, like survivors on an isolated island. In an isolated world, they interpret the conventional ethics between parents, brothers and sisters, and children, as well as stories that transcend ethics, are shocking yet reasonable.
