A real son of a bitch is killed, chopped up, and stuffed into two suitcases...

Despite that, can those who did it and those who know still love each other?

The answer is yes!

"Warnings":

- The book features post-war ruins

- Premature ejaculation

- Male virginity lost at 25

- Russian spies

- American spies

- British spies

- Frozen vodka

- Red & white wines

- Beers

- Gin and tonic

- Champagne from beyond the curtain (from the east, terrible and sweet)

- 50s rock & roll songs

- Plenty of sex in some chapters

- Another ending beyond what I briefly described...

I also watched the movie "The Innocent" based on the book by Ian McEwan (which here in Italian they titled differently for some reason...) with the esteemed Anthony Hopkins directed by the eminent John Schlesinger in 1993 (three years after the novel's release), and yesterday and today I reread it for the second time as alas I remembered little to nothing of both, and I do not regret having done so at all in fact and nothing...
