After witnessing a balloon accident, a man's life is turned upside down by a very disturbed person - or is that the case? We find our man questioning whether he is imagining things, which is what his female partner thinks, and he has a hard time convincing others that HE is the normal one. Under McEwan's spell, we begin to wonder if what we read is what is really happening. I couldn't put it down.
