Sweet Tooth

Ian McEwan’s mastery dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty audiobook of betrayal and intrigue, love, and the invented self. First she loves his stories, then she begins to love the man.

Highly entertaining

Gloriously readable and, at times, wickedly funny

Sweet Tooth takes the expectations and tropes of the Cold War thriller and ratchets up the suspense, while turning it into something else... A well-crafted pleasure to read, its smooth prose and slippery intelligence sliding down like cream

Sublime...impressive...rich and enjoyable

Riveting... Delicious... Gripping

A brilliant portrayal of 1970s Britain at its absolute worst… But it's also a gripping spy novel with some characteristic McEwan twists toward the end

A web of spying, subterfuge, deceit and betrayal... Acute, witty...winningly cunning

Playful, comic... This is a great big Russian doll of a novel, and in its construction – deft, tight, exhilaratingly immaculate – is a huge part of its pleasure...exerts a keen emotional pull

McEwan’s mastery dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal and intrigue, love, and the invented self

Fans of Ian McEwan should rejoice with the arrival of this novel... An extraordinary, irresistible work of fiction
