What troubles him as he looks out at the night sky is the state of the world - the impending war against Iraq, a gathering pessimism since 9\/11, and a fear that his city and his happy family life are under threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater, Perowne makes his way to his weekly squash game through London streets filled with hundreds of thousands of anti-war protestors. A minor car accident brings him into a confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive, young man, on the edge of violence. To Perowne's professional eye, there appears to be something profoundly wrong with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTowards the end of a day rich in incident and filled with Perowne's celebrations of life's pleasures, his family gathers for a reunion. But with the sudden appearance of Baxter, Perowne's earlier fears seem about to be realised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McEwan Ian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43335051477161,"sku":"9780099469681","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/Saturday.jpg?v=1698369480","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/saturday-2","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
