In 'Nutshell', Ian McEwan presents us with an intriguing and audacious plot. Trudy is cheating on her husband, John, with his brother Claude, and together they plan to murder John to inherit a valuable mansion in London. What is unusual about this story is that the narrator is the fetus that Trudy carries in her womb. From his unique perspective, the fetus observes the preparations for the crime, philosophizes about the world, and questions his mother's actions. This novel is a mixture of black comedy, detective plot, and an intrauterine rewriting of a classic, all narrated with McEwan's unmistakable British humor.
