A powerful novel that follows Joe Rose as he changes from a rational and organised human being to a desperate man driven to think of murder because of another's obsession. The hardback of }Enduring Love{ did extremely well, and was yet another surprise omission from the 1997 Booker short-list. McEwan's previous titles include }The Cement Garden, Black Dogs{ and }The Comfort Of Strangers{ Unknown to Joe, something passes between them – something that gives birth in Parry to an obsession so powerful that it will test to the limits Joe's beloved scientific rationalism, threaten the love of his wife Clarissa and drive him to the brink of murder and madness.
