We just want to know which McEwan this UK Facebook "stalker" sent his ex ...
Mr Hurst, 33, also sent an Ian McEwan novel to Ms Sladden's workplace with a note saying: 'This is a beautiful book.'
She said: 'I felt very, very upset. I deserve to have a life and not to have it overshadowed by an ex-partner.'
Here's hoping that Hurst's affections don't endure too much longer.

Presumably, this came about because she rebuffed his elaborate date involving a balloon.

So i suppose it could be any of mcewan's novels. I would feel harassed myself if anyone tried to give me one of his novels, like trying to mentally degrade me :P
it was like telling the poor woman: "Thats how far your intellectuality can go..."

I hope it's Enduring Love or On Chesil Beach for the hilarity factor, but suspect it's something like Atonement.

That'd be my first question, too. Who cares about the stalking? Tell me which book.

I read somewhere else onlnie - maybe BBC - that he sent her On Chesil Beach. And he said something about it being relevant to their relationship - creepy, eh?

Yup, I'm right - BBC had it:
