What We Can Know by Ian McEwan

What We Can Know by Ian McEwan is a thought‑provoking work that blends philosophical reflection with the author’s trademark narrative precision.

Through elegant prose and carefully constructed arguments, it considers science, memory, perception, and the stories people tell to make sense of their lives. The result is a compelling meditation on truth, doubt, and the fragile foundations of certainty.
