(large print) ; $c 25 cm. 520 $a Saturday is a masterful novel set within a single day in February 2003. Henry Perowne is a contented man--a successful neurosurgeon, happily married to a newspaper lawyer, and enjoying good relations with his children. Henry wakes to the comfort of his large home in central London on this, his day off. He is as at ease here as he is in the operating room. On this particular Saturday morning, Perowne's day moves through the ordinary to the extraordinary. After an unusual sighting in the early morning sky, he makes his way to his regular squash game with his anaesthetist, trying to avoid the hundreds of thousands of marchers filling the streets of London, protesting against the war. A minor accident in his car brings him into a confrontation with a small-time thug. To Perowne's professional eye, something appears to be profoundly wrong with this young man, who in turn believes the surgeon has humiliated him--with savage consequences that will lead Henry Perowne to deploy all his skills to keep his family alive. 650 0 $a Neurosurgeons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003- $x Protest movements $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Traffic accidents $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Middle-aged men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family reunions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World politics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Road rage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 650 7 $a Psychological fiction. 650 7 $a Political fiction. 650 7 $a Suspense fiction. 650 0 $a Political fiction. $2 lcsh 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0623/2005040903-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0623/2005040903-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0623/2005040903-s.html 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010340.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20160825021157.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20151216034658.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150922031717.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227030729.0 952 $l ATPB046 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l YPPB532 $m lp fic mce $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9B203802B0811DEBA4F1C08A8D7520A 994 $a 03 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
