The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (Paperback, 2012)
***Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction******Now a major film starring Jim Broadbent and Charlotte Rampling***Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life., Now Tony is retired. He’s had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He’s certainly never tried to hurt anybody., Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer’s letter is about to prove. ‘A masterpiece’ Daily Telegraph ‘Mesmerising’ Independent ‘Wonderful’ Irish Times
