Black Dogs is a dark and brooding masterpiece from Booker-prize winning Sunday Times bestselling author Ian McEwan.
In 1946, June and Bernard set off on their honeymoon.
Powerful... Unforgettable
His best yet, which I should make clear is saying a great deal
Brilliant...a meditation on the intoxications of violence and the redemptive power of love
Superbly evocative prose... The novel's vision of Europe is acute and alive, vivid in its moral complexities
Compassionate without resorting to sentimentality, clever without ever losing its honesty, an undisguised novel of ideas which is also Ian McEwan's most human work
