In July 1962, Edward and Florence, who have just married, spend their first night in a hotel on the Dorset coast. During dinner in the honeymoon suite, both try to hide the tension and fear of the intimacy that approaches. The story shows how an unspoken word or an omitted gesture can change the course of their lives.
The Portuguese translation is by Ana Falcão Bastos and comes from the English original «On Chesil Beach»; the work was nominated for the Booker Prize in 2007.
For readers of literary and historical fiction and followers of the author; its brevity and introspective tone make it suitable for reading clubs.
