could be so far off in his dining one. Alas. I felt the only way to end this book was to end it in the way McEwan did – the Highland Toast. It is a parting ritual stooped in tradition that McEwan has adopted as a signature move in gatherings. It includes standing (perhaps awkwardly, as it was in my case) on both a table and a chair, and much gesturing of a glass to specific words. There’s a bit of a surprise ending to the whole affair, but I’ll let you read about that in the book.
