McEwan does that a lot, this time it’s a ballooning tragedy, but the real purpose of it is to allow McEwan to explore his characters. I close my eyes and see you as you were last night in the rain, across the road from me, with the unspoken love between us as strong as steel cable.") Many people rushed to assist, but one man perished in their uncalculated attempts at rescue. Much recent policy, academic and professional research has focused on the causes and effects of relationship breakdown, but many heterosexual and LGBTQ+ couples also remain together for significant periods of time. Ok, this is my 4th book by Mr. McEwen and was very satisfied with this book. Enduring Love was the weakest among the 9 McEwan’s books I’ve read so far. Definitely start with Atonement. Objectively, I can see the appeal to this. Sadly there were a few instances, where the author started to ramble on about themes, that I absolutely did not care about, or had no effect on the story or character itself...It took me out of the story. This day will change the character's life and everyone around them.

The opening chapter itself is worthy of 5 stars - I felt like I was actually witnessing the accident in real time, that the desperation, helplessness, horror, and guilt outlined on those pages were mine alone. crashing head-on with a creep-o misfit, a defective misanthrope who has this eerie pathological condition stalking the incredibly intelligent and quick-witted protagonist for pages… a neo noir, a-la Saramago (but not turtle-paced like his are usually, thank God). Joe Rose, a science writer, has a traumatic experience, and then is stalked. Ugh, I hate giving such a low rating to a book by McEwan because he writes such beautiful prose, but the plot was. Interesting to consider this as a precursor to, I read a lot of books by this author. You may need to download version 2.0 now from the Chrome Web Store. In short, I've started hanging with a 'better' (or, for political correctness, 'different') literary crowd, and now McEwan seems to me to be the province of the armchair literati, the people who like to read the Booker Prize winners, the people who are content to read pretty, sophisticated prose that looks nice but means nothing. Definitely start with Atonement. The perfect day turns to nightmare however, when they are involved in freak ballooning accident in which a boy is saved but a man is killed.
