Why read it?
1 author picked Enduring Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first read this book some years ago in one sitting, and have returned to it time and again.

A chance encounter between two men following a fatal ballooning accident leads to an obsession by Jed, that destroys the life of the man he stalks. I found McKewan’s intricate exploration of obsessive fixation, known as De Cleremabault’s Syndrome both chilling and immersive, like erotomania itself.
From Anna's list on understanding the criminal mind.
