A witty, satirical read. Possibly not my favourite of McEwan’s books, but definitely one of the most astutely-observed regarding politics.

A fantastically clever take on Kafka's The Metamorphosis, from a writer who never fails to please. What a wonderful book that really captures the political climate of the moment!

It's s fun and easy reading, but ultimately it irked me and i overall was glad it was short! The only female character making false sexual harassment allegations was particularly poor taste for me. I'm a big europhile and ready for some sharp satire, but this wasnt it.
