The Sense of an Ending

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

A novel with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication and so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting. <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barne's oevre. This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about--until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he'd left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he'd understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
