18.03.14 | Benedicte Page - The BooksellerThe Children's Act is understood to explore the legal and emotional difficulties surrounding the decision on whether to separate the children.
The novelist is said to explore the barrister's perspective for the first time in the book, with McEwan spending time with practitioners as he prepared for the work, just as he shadowed a surgeon in preparation for his 2005 novel, Saturday.
McEwan is set to discuss his "fiction in progress" at an event with The Guardian's Claire Armistead at the Charleston Festival in May, with The Children's Act billed as highlighting "the ethical dilemmas when religious conviction seeks to prevent medical intervention."
McEwan's most recent novel, Sweet Tooth (Jonathan Cape), was published in 2012.
