On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan, 203 pages
On Chesil Beach follows two young newlyweds Florence and Edward as they travel to a hotel on the Dorset coast for their much anticipated honeymoon in July 1962. Both are virgins from very different backgrounds. Edward is eager to get physical with his new bride. But, to the contrary, Florence is disgusted to have any physical contact with Edward. It is actually quite a sad story. One cannot help feel sympathy for both Florence and Edward.
