《在切瑟尔海滩上》的故事设置在微妙的六十年代初，嬉皮士刚开始学习放荡，传统派依然坚挺，“根本不可能对性事困扰说长道短的年代”尚未落幕。爱德华和弗洛伦斯的蜜月晚餐忐忑、紧张、充满误解。初夜的那场爱，终是没有做成。一整本细腻如丝的词句囊括了性和爱，却分裂在各自的肉体和内心，在这本书的世界里，他和她永远无法合二为一。
麦克尤恩通过性爱观念这个独特视角回顾青葱岁月的温情小品，细腻温婉却劲道十足，牵惹情思又回味悠长。
A novel of remarkable depth and poignancy from one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.
It is July 1962. Florence is a talented musician who dreams of a career on the concert stage and of the perfect life she will create with Edward, an earnest young history student at University College of London, who unexpectedly wooed and won her heart. Newly married that morning, both virgins, Edward and Florence arrive at a hotel on the Dorset coast. At dinner in their rooms they struggle to suppress their worries about the wedding night to come. Edward, eager for rapture, frets over Florence’s response to his advances and nurses a private fear of failure, while Florence’s anxieties run deeper: she is overcome by sheer disgust at the idea of physical contact, but dreads disappointing her husband when they finally lie down together in the honeymoon suite.
Ian McEwan has caught with understanding and compassion the innocence of Edward and Florence at a time when marriage was presumed to be the outward sign of maturity and independence. On Chesil Beach is another masterwork from McEwan—a story of lives transformed by a gesture not made or a word not spoken.
