The Children Act by Ian McEwan221 Pages
Fiona Maye's marriage is falling apart as her husband declares he wants to have an affair in order to experience some passion in his life. She is a High Court judge who presides over cases in the family court. When she is called to judge over a case of a 17 year old Jehovah's witness who is trying to avoid medical treatment that would save his life it stirs up dormant emotions in Fiona.
Everyone tends to gush over anything Ian McEwan writes but I have to say this book left me cold with an obvious ending.
