Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

After both their father and mother die, a group of four siblings must survive on their own. Told from the perspective of one of the brothers, 14-year-old Jack, we watch the siblings as they navigate difficult feelings and experiences. This was McEwan’s first novel, starting with a bang and dealing with some grim subjects. Even though the contents may be grim and haunting this novel shows the literary prowess of a talented author’s debut.

One of the world's most acclaimed novelists, New York Times best-selling author Ian McEwan has earned the Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. A tour de force of stunning power, The Cement Garden is a beautiful yet disturbing look at the psychology of childhood. After their parents die, four children are left alone in the family house. They are free to live however they choose-but they must preserve a terrible secret.
