Revue de presse :

"Haunting and compelling" (The Times)

"No reader will begin The Comfort of Strangers and fail to finish it; a black magician is at work" (New York Times)

"This compelling, driven novel explores what it might be like to lose yourself forever" (Guardian)

"His writing is exact, tender, funny, voluptuous, disturbing" (The Times)

"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" (Observer)
