About This Novel
The story of "On Chesil Beach" is set in the subtle early 1960s, when hippies were just beginning to learn debauchery, traditionalists were still strong, and "the era when it was impossible to talk about sexual troubles" had not yet come to an end. Edward and Florence's honeymoon dinner is uneasy, tense and full of misunderstandings. The love on the first night was never made. A whole book of delicate and silky words covers sex and love, but they are separated in their respective bodies and hearts. In the world of this book, he and she can never become one. McEwan's tender sketch looks back on the youthful years through the unique perspective of sexual concepts. It is delicate and gentle but full of power, which is both emotional and long-lasting.
