Enduring Love

Enduring Love (1997) is a novel by British writer Ian McEwan. The plot concerns two strangers who become perilously entangled after witnessing a deadly accident.

When a tiny kid is taken away in a runaway hot-air balloon, two men are pushed together as members of a makeshift rescue squad in one of the most horrific opening scenes in literature. But things grow much more frightening when Jed gets enamored with Joe, his fellow rescuer. Enduring Love, based on a true tale, is a bizarre reverse-love story thanks to McEwan's fondness for detail and flair for obsession.

Enduring Love was made into a film of the same name in 2004. The film adaptation was directed by Roger Michell and written by Joe Penhall, and it stars Daniel Craig, Rhys Ifans, and Samantha Morton, as well as Bill Nighy, Susan Lynch, and Corin Redgrave. Critics awarded the picture mixed reviews, while the prominent movie review website Rotten Tomatoes gave it a grade of 59 percent positive reviews.
