The legendary interviewer confesses to the Ian McEwan book he wishes he'd written...

On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan

 

“This is the book that I wish I had written, and it’s also the novel I have read most recently. It’s about a newlywed couple and the story goes all the way through to the last page, which is so heart-rendingly sad. It’s a beautifully-told story over this period of their lives, but it’s really sad. It saddened me for days after I read it, which doesn’t happen often.”
