Colin and Mary are a couple whose intimacy knows no bounds. Away on a holiday together in a nameless city, they get lost one evening in a labyrinth of streets and canals.

Haunting and compelling
No reader will begin The Comfort of Strangers and fail to finish it; a black magician is at work
This compelling, driven novel explores what it might be like to lose yourself forever
His writing is exact, tender, funny, voluptuous, disturbing
McEwan, that master of the taciturn macabre, so organises his narrative that, without insisting anything, every turn and glimpse is another tightening of the noose
