Questo autore esplora le intricate relazioni tra scienza ed etica, tecnologia e umanità. Le sue opere, spesso ambientate nel presente, rivelano le tensioni nascoste sotto la superficie di vite apparentemente ordinarie. Lo stile di McEwan è caratterizzato da una penetrante profondità psicologica e da un linguaggio preciso che cattura il lettore nei dilemmi dei suoi personaggi. Attraverso la sua scrittura, spinge alla riflessione sulla natura del libero arbitrio e sulle conseguenze delle nostre scelte.

Став свидетелем изнасилования, она трактует его по-своему — и приводит в действие цепочку роковых событий, которая аукнется самым неожиданным образом через много лет.
