I enjoyed The Children Act by Ian McEwan which is set in London. A High Court judge, Fiona, rules on a case where a 17 year-old Jehovah's Witness, Adam, is in hospital and in dire need of a blood transfusion to save his life. Adam and his parents have refused the transfusion. Fiona is having marital problems so has personal as well as professional issues to deal with. She makes her decision regarding Adam which then has further ramifications. Beautiful writing. 4/5
