She's about 32 now, with two children living in different households as was the custom then, so by the time poor Richard is murdered, she's going to be quite old. I would love to write a book shadowing every year of Richard II's reign with a different, multi-layered mystery for Hildegard to solve. I'm doubtful about putting too much violence in the stories as there is already so much in the world and I don't like the idea of adding to it, even if only in the imagination, but then, it's part of that world too so it cannot be avoided. It surprises me that I'm writing historical novels at all, especially ones involving crime, as before this I wrote contemporary plays and romance. When I started with Hangman Blind I thought Hildegard would become an abbess but then she joined the Cistercians who only allowed women to be prioresses so she's had to put up with that. I'm mad about the middle ages and love writing this series of medieval whodunits featuring nun sleuth Hildegard of Meaux.

The novel toggles between Roland’s adolescence and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, when he’s a 38-year-old poet, settled (or so he thinks) in London, and the married father of an infant son. His rich, dense new novel, Lessons, flips the script on “grooming”: In this case, a predatory older woman, Miriam Cornell, initiates a covert, “consensual” sexual relationship with 14-year-old Roland Baines, her piano student, at an English boarding school in 1962. He dives into moral quandaries at a moment when most authors play it safe, risking “cancellation” from Twitter mobs, willing to boldly go where few writers tread. His characters grapple with unexpected and often murky ethical choices. McEwan has never shied away from explosive topics. As with Carol Shields’s The Stone Diaries or Ali Smith’s seasonal quartet series, quotidian lives reflect the sweep and drama of history. His most famous work, Atonement (which was made into a feature film starring Keira Knightley and Saoirse Ronan), plays tricks with readers’ expectations. He mines current affairs-the here and now, the rearview mirror, and the just-over-the-horizon-steering readers through crises from the Blitz to 9/11 to the war in Iraq.
