"Exercise" is an emotional psychological drama for leisurely reading with elements of the author's own biography, structurally resembling scattered pieces of a mosaic. In the mid-twentieth century, while 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.
