'Dazzling... Profound and urgent' Observer 'A book of great
maturity, beautifully alive to the fragility of happiness and all
forms of violence... Everyone should read Saturday' Financial Times
Saturday, February 15, 2003. Henry Perowne, a successful
neurosurgeon, stands at his bedroom window before dawn and watches
a plane - ablaze with fire like a meteor - arcing across the London
sky. Over the course of the following day, unease gathers about
Perowne, as he moves amongst hundreds of thousands of anti-war
protestors in the post-9/11 streets. A minor car accident brings
him into confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive man, who
to Perowne's professional eye appears to be profoundly unwell. But
it is not until Baxter makes a sudden appearance at the Perowne
family home that Henry's earlier fears seem about to be realised...
