   Jan 24, 2019 · Book review: “The Children Act” by Ian McEwan. I haven’t read that many books by Ian McEwan – about four I think, not as many as I would like. Each time I read one, I am so overwhelmed by the quality of the work, the writing, the ideas behind each novel, that I wonder why on earth I haven’t read every single thing he’s written ...

   Is the Children Act a good book?

   • The Children Act isn’t perfect (and what a relief that it isn't, right?). But it’s vital, full of emotion, and so beautifully written, it made me purr. Angela M is taking a break. Don’t let the fact that this is a pretty short novel deceive you into thinking that there is not much substance here.

   What makes the Children Act so special?

   • Forged in music, poetry and talk, the friendship of these two super-intelligent “innocents” – the omniscient nearly-60 judge and the ailing, headstrong adolescent – will lead not into light but darkness. As compact, focused and elegant as one of Fiona’s own judgments, The Children Act sticks by and large to her perspective.

   What can you write about in the Children Act?

   • I can write on spies and an euthanasia, on amorality and an obsession, on strange relationships and so on. In The Children Act McEwan raises really weighty issues and moral dilemmas like human dignity, freedom of choice, the right to refusal of treatment, marital breakdown but it all lacks true involvement.
