In 1962 England, Florence and Edward, two newly married young people, face their wedding night in a hotel next to Chesil Beach. Both, belonging to different social classes and with contrasting personalities, love each other but are inexperienced in sexual matters. The novel explores their insecurities, fears and expectations as they try to consummate their marriage in an era where talking about sex was taboo. Through their thoughts and memories, McEwan builds a delicate and terrible map of a relationship, of love, of sex, and of an era marked by discourses and silences.
