Described as 'one of the finest writers alive', Ian McEwan's latest novel is set in a post-climate change future where survivors are haunted by the richness of a lost world.
What We Can Know is a quest, literary thriller and love story. Set in the year 2119, in a world submerged by rising seas, it spans the past, present and future, asking questions about who we are and where we're going at a time when there's still cause for optimism.
Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of seventeen books, including Amsterdam, which won the 1998 Booker Prize. Other works such as Atonement, Enduring Love, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach have all been adapted for the big screen.
