Fiona Maye is a British High Court Judge in the Family Division and, as such, her life’s work is ‘bringing reasonableness to hopeless situations.” She is deeply cultured and believes that kindness is the essential human ingredient -yet kindness IS complicated. Fiona brings rational and compassionate clarity to life altering and murky court cases, showing how fragile we all are and how cautious we should be about disrupting another’s well-ordered life. All the while, the equilibrium of her own life is being rocked by betrayal and an eventual recalibration of her long-term marriage.
Excellent small novel by Ian McEwan, recommended for the adult reader (also available on audiobook).
