Saturday -- Ian McEwan, Paperback

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The bestselling author of Atonement follows an ordinary man through a Saturday whose high promise gradually turns nightmarish in this "dazzling [and] powerful" novel (The New York Times).

Henry Perowne--a neurosurgeon, urbane, privileged, deeply in love with his wife and grown-up children--plans to play a game of squash, visit his elderly mother, and cook dinner for his family. But after a minor traffic accident leads to an unsettling confrontation, Perowne must set aside his plans and summon a strength greater than he knew he had in order to preserve the life that is dear to him.

Don't miss Ian McEwan's new novel, Lessons, coming in September!
