"Exercise" is an emotional psychological drama for leisurely reading with elements of the author's own biography.
In the middle of the twentieth century, when the world is still counting the cost of World War II, eleven-year-old Roland Baines' life is turned upside down.
His military father takes him away from Libya and assigns him to an English boarding school, where his vulnerability attracts a young piano teacher, Miriam Cornell. The irrational and tragic first love will be a red thread through the boy's life.
Much later, when Roland's wife disappears, leaving him alone with a young son, he will search for answers in both his youth and his family's history.

Ian McEwan chronicles the pivotal events in European history from the twentieth to the twenty-first century through the lens of the life of Roland, a characteristic member of his generation.
