Synopsis

See the article Black Dog for disambiguation. Black Dogs is a 1992 novel by the Booker Prize-winning British author Ian McEwan. It concerns the aftermath of the Nazi era in Europe, and how the fall of the Berlin Wall in the late 1980s affects those who once saw Communism as a way forward for society. The main characters travel to France, where they encounter disturbing residues of Nazism still at large in the French countryside.
