샤프가 태어났을 때 어머니가 다른 남자와 결혼했다면 맥이완과 샤프는 어떻게 같은 부모를 공유하게 되나요?
2002년, 맥이완은 2차 세계대전 중 입양을 포기한 형제가 있다는 사실을 알게 되었고, 이 이야기는 2007년에 공개되었습니다. 벽돌공인 데이비드 샤프라는 이름의 형제는 맥이완보다 6년 먼저 태어났으며, 어머니는 다른 남자와 결혼했습니다. 샤프는 맥이완과 같은 어머니와 아버지를 두었지만 결혼 전 불륜 관계에서 태어났습니다. 첫 번째 남편이 전투에서 사망한 후 맥이완의 어머니는 애인과 결혼했고, 몇 년 후 이안이 태어났습니다. 두 형제는 정기적으로 연락을 주고받고 있으며 맥이완은 샤프의 회고록에 서문을 썼습니다.

How do McEwan and Sharp share the same parents if their mother was married to a different man when Sharp was born?
In 2002, McEwan discovered that he had a brother who had been given up for adoption during the Second World War; the story became public in 2007. The brother, a bricklayer named David Sharp, was born six years earlier than McEwan, when their mother was married to a different man. Sharp has the same mother and father as McEwan but was born from an affair that occurred before they married. After her first husband was killed in combat, McEwan's mother married her lover, and Ian was born a few years later. The brothers are in regular contact and McEwan has written a foreword to Sharp's memoir.
While married to a man who would die in combat, their mother had an affair with a man (their father) she would later marry. That affair produced Sharp, and they proceeded to have another child, McEwan, following their marriage.
