The children act : a novel

McEwan, Ian (Author).

Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding. But Fiona's professional success belies domestic strife as her husband's departure leaves her adrift. She decides to throw herself into her work, especially a complex case involving a seventeen-year-old boy whose parents will not permit a lifesaving blood transfusion because it conflicts with their beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses. But Jack doesn't leave her thoughts, and the pressure to resolve the case--as well as her crumbling marriage--tests Fiona in ways that will keep readers thoroughly enthralled until the last stunning page
