Description

In his triumphant new book, an ordinary man is followed by Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement, via a Sunday whose large guarantee progressively becomes nightmarish. Carol Perowne–a neurosurgeon, urbane, fortunate, seriously in deep love with his wife and grown up children–plans to enjoy a game title of squash, visit his aged mother, and prepare dinner for his family. But Perowne should put aside his ideas, following a minor traffic incident results in a disturbing conflict and call a power more than he understood he'd to be able to protect the life span that's precious to him.
