Nutshell by Ian McEwan

3.0

This book definitely takes an interesting perspective on storytelling -- told from the view of the child, in utero. The writing is beautiful but I wasn't ever able to fully embrace the story or feel deeply for the characters, for whatever reason. It may have been because the only character that I was able to feel compassion for was the unborn child and he was powerless. Or, perhaps it was because I never felt hopeful for any of the characters.
