Ian McEwan is a modern classic of British literature, marked by many prestigious awards, including the Booker and the Somerset Maugham Award. There have been 8 motion pictures based on McEwan's novels, which are still on the radar today.
The novel "Child in Time" plunges into a family history as in a maelstrom, from which the reader is unlikely to be able to get out at once. Children's author Stephen Lewis's three-year-old daughter Kate disappears while she and her father were at the supermarket. Her whereabouts are unknown. What happens seriously affects Stephen's self-image and his relationship with his wife. The taut narrative, stretching and breaking the temporal structure, reveals new details and almost forgotten feelings of the characters, emphasizes the ability of the text to bring back former days and thus create a semblance of eternity that changes under the onslaught of reason. A literature of high class, capable of explaining to man the essence of his own soul by resorting to the properties of memory.
