What started off as a beautiful and calm day ends up in tragedy. Then the story makes a complete 180-degree turn. It starts off pretty innocently: two lovers having a picnic in an idyllic setting. The beginning chapter of Ian McEwan’s Enduring Love was arresting and thrilling.
I have never experienced reading a book that immediately filled me with a sense of foreboding. I am aware of his book Atonement though and I hope to read this next. One of the characters from this book suffers from de Clerambault’s syndrome.Īnother reason why I read this was because I wanted to read something from Ian McEwan. When I joined the 2014 Mental Illness Advocacy Reading Challenge, this is one of the books that I listed down to read. There are a lot of things I do not understand but would like to understand about those who suffer from these illnesses. I have been interested in reading books about mental illness recently. Check out my progress for this year’s reading challenges here. I read this for the following challenges: 2014 Book-To-Movie Challenge and 2014 Mental Illness Advocacy Reading Challenge.
