Book Reviews of The Comfort of Strangers
Book Review: beware of strangers
Summary: 4 Stars
A couple on holiday in Venice meets an unusual local couple. The initial "comfort" soon turns to uneasiness, and later to horror.
The writing is exquisite but I guess I prefer later McEwan, where the horror is more disguised and implied.
Summary of The Comfort of Strangers
As their holiday unfolds, Colin and Maria are locked into their own intimacy. They groom themselves meticulously, as though someone is waiting for them who cares deeply about how they appear. When they meet a man with a disturbing story to tell, they become drawn into a fantasy of violence and obsession.British Books
