阿姆斯特丹

The characters' decisions felt layered and complex, making me wonder what the author was aiming to provoke in readers about ethics and loyalty.

Their choices sparked a lot of internal debate for me about what I would do in similar situations. I wonder if this was intentional or a reflection of real-life moral grey areas.

The city's atmosphere and culture add a unique backdrop to the moral dilemmas. I'm curious whether McEwan chose it for specific symbolic reasons or for its mood.
