Enduring love novel7/1/2023 He shadows Joe's movements around London, loiters outside his apartment, constantly leaves messages and letters. Parry quickly fixates on Joe, and, deciding that he is meant to be the means by which Joe, a nonbeliever, will be brought back to God, Parry begins haunting him. Isolated, independently wealthy, Parry has attempted to suppress his homosexual inclinations by immersing himself in a fervent and very personal version of Christianity. In the aftermath, Joe exchanges words with Jed Parry, a deeply disturbed young man among those who came rushing to help. Joe is among the bystanders who race to seize the balloon, which is damaged, close to the ground, and being pushed by high winds toward a precipice. Joe Rose, a middle-aged science writer, takes his wife Clarissa to London's Hampstead Heath for a picnic-and stumbles into a tragedy when a man and his young grandson, on a jaunt by balloon, get into serious trouble. A sad, chilling, precise exploration of deranged love, by the author of, among other works, the novels The Innocent (1990) and Black Dogs (1992).
