In his triumphant new novel, Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement, follows an ordinary man through a Saturday whose high promise gradually turns nightmarish. 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.

读后感

用了很长的时间，慢慢看完了这本书。这本书让我对麦克尤恩有了新的认识。我对麦克尤恩的第一认识是《最初的爱，最后的仪式》。那是一本才华横溢的短篇小说集，他的处女作。从《最》可以看出，一个满溢天才天马行空的想象力与细腻精到的控制力，还有一个深刻作家应具备的不令人...  

用户评价

如果去掉全书后三分之一，故事就没法读下去了；中间部分显得过于琐碎，让人感觉伊麦变成了一个絮絮叨叨的长舌妇。好在最后的剧情反转给本来就温吞的故事添加了重口味的佐料，一下子充满了嚼劲。大概伊麦还是以那个邪恶大叔形象出现时更加迷人。

Listened to the audiobook read by James Wilby. Very good narrator. His Daisy, Rosalind, and cockney Baxter made me chuckle though. Liked the details on literature, poetry, Blues and Glenn Gould. Found the theme and subject overall uninspiring. Nothing we haven't thought of before. I'm so tired of the perspective of a middle class white male...

R4 read by Robert Glenister. 小说里怎么可以有幸福家庭关系？！

好会写！一天里看尽了一个人的一生/难得看到男性视角的麦克尤恩，也很感人/我多么希望在青春期时有个那样的爷爷给我那么多钱让我背英国诗，就像张无忌偶遇高人当上武林盟主/还以为医生会做手脚报复那个强盗，没想到是这样的结尾，作家的美好幻想，恶人会被真善美（此处是诗）打动，放下屠刀立地成佛/最喜欢他和妻子之间的感觉，一点也不像现实中的苟且夫妻，很美好/作为中年危机里的中年男人，这个主角十分惹人喜爱
