On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan

4.0

Have you ever had a secret that you never told anyone? A secret so integral to your whole existence that you yourself have pushed it aside in order to have a normal life? What would you do if you were faced with having to tell the one person whom you love more than anything in the world that very secret? Could you face them, the consequences? What would you do if the day you were forced into this situation... were your wedding night?

Meet Florence and Edward. Two early twenties individuals who are madly in love with each other. We peek into their lives for a few hours to witness their wedding night. What these two characters have kept hidden from each other is read in black and white for the reader. What will come of a confession on their wedding night between two people who don't know each other as well as they claim they did?
