Anthony's Recommendation
"This #NewBookTuesday comes from Ian McEwan, The Booker Prize winning author of Atonement. Haven't read that one, but this sounds interesting. It takes place in an apocalyptic future in the year 2119 and concerns the search for a lost poem from a dinner party in 2014. I'm interested. Review coming Monday. What an absolute tour de force of a novel. A mystery wrapped in a meditation on art, history, the future and love. Just incredible. Cannot recommend this highly enough."
