NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
'I cannot remember the last time I read a novel so beautifully
written or utterly compelling from the very first page' Bill
Bryson, Sunday Times

Atonement and Enduring Love have both been turned into award-winning films, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach are in production and set for release this year, and filming is currently underway for a BBC TV adaptation of The Child in Time.

S. Byatt Daily Mail "He is the maestro at creating suspense" New Statesman

In this novel, touted as the often unnerving McEwan's most accessible yet, what starts out as a tragic accident during a hot-air balloon outing becomes a full-scale thriller.
