One windy spring day in the Chilterns Joe Rose's calm, organized life is shattered by a ballooning accident. The afternoon, Rose reflects, could have ended in mere tragedy, but for his brief meeting with Jed Parry. Unknown to Rose, something passes between them - something that gives birth in Parry to an obsession so powerful that it will test to the limits Rose's beloved scientific rationalism, threaten the love of his wife Clarissa and drive him to the brink of murder and madness.

Constantly fascinating and myseterious. A great example of how normal modern life can be completely interupted and ruined by a stranger. It is so uninvited and shocking. The film directed by Roger Michel does do the novel justice. - NazEnduring Love, more than any other book I've ever read, made me empathise with the main characters, made me want to shout at them to wake them up, to make them realise what was happening. And the end, quietly hidden away in the epilogue, is brilliant. - Michael Strubell Write a review
