#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From Booker Prize–winning and bestselling author of Atonement—Ian McEwan's acclaimed novel Saturday follows an ordinary man through a single day whose high promise gradually turns nightmarish.
”Dazzling . . . powerful.” —The New York Times
Saturday, February 15, 2003. Henry Perowne, a successful neurosurgeon, stands at his bedroom window before dawn and watches a plane—ablaze with fire like a meteor—arcing across the London sky. Over the course of the following day, unease gathers about Perowne, as he moves among hundreds of thousands of anti-war protestors who’ve taken to the streets in the aftermath of 9/11.
A minor car accident brings him into confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive man, who to Perowne’s professional eye appears to be profoundly unwell. But it is not until Baxter makes a sudden appearance at the Perowne family home that Henry’s earlier fears seem about to be realized. . . .
“A book of great maturity, beautifully alive to the fragility of happiness and all forms of violence. . . . Everyone should read Saturday” —Financial Times
