«O Fardo do Amor» is the suspense novel by Ian McEwan, published by Gradiva in paperback (203 pages, in Portuguese).
On a windy day, a hot-air balloon drifting away with a child on board brings together several strangers who try to help. Among them are Joe Rose and Jed Parry, and that encounter awakens in Parry a disturbing obsession with Joe. That fixation will call into question Rose's scientific rationalism, endanger his relationship with Clarissa, and drive him to extreme measures to protect his life.
The original, Enduring Love, was published in 1997; this Portuguese translation by Maria do Carmo Figueira appeared in October of the same year.
For readers of contemporary fiction and psychological suspense, and for those seeking a Portuguese edition of Ian McEwan's work.
