Hey. My name is Emily Grossenbacher and I’m new here at Lemuria. I come to Lemuria from Yellow Dog Books, the now closed bookstore in Madison, MS. I’m a senior English major at Mississippi and working here is like being in a toy store.
Recently, I finished On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. (click here for a first edition) Much like his other works, On Chesil Beach focuses on a couple and how minor infractions can forever change the dynamics of the relationship. McEwan almost preaches at his audience in this novel, writing about how patience, acceptance, and forgiveness are necessities in the beginning stages of a relationship.
McEwan knows how to pull at his audiences’ heartstrings, and he once again creates a novel full of regret and heartbreak that makes the audience want to rewrite the ending. At 200 pages its a good short read for anyone with a busy schedule.
Well, I’ll be back soon. Keep reading.
Emily
