I’ve only read about 20% of Ian McEwan’s latest novel, but this promises to be another masterpiece. Among other things, it deals with the White Rose resistance group in Nazi Germany. In times when politicians once again widely abuse language to manipulate their electorate, it feels almost therapeutic to read about those brave, young intellectuals opposing Hitler in no uncertain terms. It’s a particular delight to read about all this in McEwan’s brilliant prose.
