Amsterdam, by Ian McEwan. (No relation, heh.)
I won't even bother recounting what the ending actually is. As dreadful as it was predictable. I read it ages ago, and the thing I remember most is throwing the book across the room in disgust when I was done with it. (Which, come to think of it, I did with Atonement and On Chesil Beach, as well.)
I don't even know why I keep reading his books. Their endings are all crap, and he routinely submits his female characters to sexual assault. (No wonder he wins so many awards.) Wevs.
