Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She’s still in the marital home—a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse—but John’s not here. Instead, she’s with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month–old resident of Trudy’s womb.

Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit by McEwan, whose works have earned him worldwide critical acclaim.

He is the author of The Child in Time; Amsterdam, for which he won the Man Booker Prize; Atonement, for which he won the National Book Critics’ Circle Fiction Award and the Santiago Prize for the European Novel; and Saturday, for which he won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
