NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTUREI cannot remember the last time I read a novel so …

Review of 'Enduring Love' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Beautifully written novel that travels more ground than I'd ever expected--but not in a balloon.

The story begins with a dramatic accident and concerns those who either witnessed it or took part in an attempted rescue. We follow Joe Rose, the protagonist, who is struggling with guilt and obsessed with his part in the tragedy. His reactions and research lead him to some surprising conclusions, and he is able to help others involved with this incident feel more resolved, as well.

I found Enduring Love to be a fascinating page turner.
