Subject: inference of sexual abuse in Florence's frigidity in McEwan's On Chesil Beach

The passage on page 99 describing Florence's sea crossing with her father
suggests to me that she was sexually abused , and that this is possibly the
cause of her so-called frigidity. Does anyone else care to comment on this
theory?
