Saturday by Ian McEwan
Whether it's squash, music, neurosurgery, road rage, family relationships, unpredictable violence or 2003's massive anti-war demonstration in London, this life in the day of neurosurgeon, Henry Perowne, is told by a master storyteller. It begins with a plane on fire witnessed through a bedroom window and describes the events of a day which should be just a normal Saturday but turns into one when Henry's attitudes and everything that he holds dear must be re-evaluated.
