Riassunto

In one of the most striking opening scenes ever written, a bizarre ballooning accident and a chance meeting give birth to an obsession so powerful that an ordinary man is driven to the brink of madness and murder by another's delusions. Ian McEwan brings us an unforgettable story—dark, gripping, and brilliantly crafted—of how life can change in an instant.

"An utterly compelling and haunting chronicle of private terror and delusion.... In Enduring Love, Ian McEwan has given us some of the best prose being written in English." —The Times Literary Supplement

"Utterly thrilling.... All I can do is praise the clarity and intelligence of the writing and say that Enduring Love is as riveting at the finish as it is at the start." —The Globe and Mail
