 The Innocent 
Reading another excellent Ian McEwan novel, The Innocent. It's a spy novel set in Berlin in the early 1950's. McEwan has a way of expressing the deepest emotions and feelings of his characters in a way that few novelists can match. It was published in 1990, and was his most popular novel to date. His latest books have received almost univeral praise and for good reason, he's an excellent story teller. He's the kind of novelist one loves to discover, someone who has an extensive back list of critically acclaimed work.
