The cement garden
Introduction••
- Author: Ian McEwan
- Title: The Cement Garden
- Wrote in 1978
- This book deals with complex themes such as adolescence, the loss of innocence, and how the absence of a parental figure can influence a child’s growth
plot summary••
This book tells the story of four siblings — Julie, Sue, Tom, and Jack — who become orphans and try to hide the mother’s body to avoid being separated and sent to different foster families. However, the absence of a parental figure brings to the development of unusual relationships between them.
analysis ••
- I think Tom, the youngest boy, is the most impressive character because his personality clearly shows how the mother's death caused him to become psicologically disturbated.
- In general I don't really like the book because in my opinon some details are irrilevant with the story.
- I wish the story had a different ending: this one feels incompleted.
conclusion••
In conclusion I didn't really like the book; It deals well with psicological themes but some details were unnecessary. I don't reccommend it because i think it isn't a book that doesn't make you do a really important reflections.
