New York Times bestselling author Ian McEwan’s novels have inspired sweeping critical acclaim and won such prestigious awards as the Booker Prize for Amsterdam and the National Book Critics Circle Award for his modern masterpiece, Atonement. With Saturday, McEwan has crafted perhaps his most unique achievement to date. Neurosurgeon Henry Perowne enjoys life immensely and considers himself fortunate to love the woman he’s married to. As he makes his way through an immense London crowd of Iraq War protestors, he has a minor automobile accident. His trained eye immediately senses something neurologically wrong with Baxter, the other driver. So when the confrontational Baxter visits the Perowne home later that evening and events take a tragic turn, it is Henry who must employ his skills to save Baxter. McEwan has been hailed as “one of the most gifted literary storytellers alive” by The New Republic, and Saturday is further proof of that claim.
