Ian McEwan's 2025 novel 'What We Can Know' is drawing attention from readers, who describe it as a fun, gripping book that is hard to put down.

Early reactions highlight its blend of literary fiction with a speculative near-future backdrop.
Why now: The novel is newly released and readers are sharing enthusiastic early impressions of it
