Edward and Florence arrive at Chesil Beach, unaware their wedding night will define their lives.
It is July 1962. Edward and Florence, young innocents married that morning, arrive at a hotel on the Dorset coast. At dinner in their rooms they struggle to suppress their private fears of the wedding night to come and, unbeknownst to them both, the events of the evening will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
‘A masterpiece’ Times Literary Supplement
‘A wonderful and moving portrait of a specific time, and two of its hostages, and how to make a mess of love’ Irish Times
'McEwan brings Florence and Edward touchingly alive for us' Guardian
