description Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize. By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, 'The Sense of an Ending' extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling 'Arthur & George' and continued with 'Nothing to Be Frightened Of' and, most recently, 'Pulse.' This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has 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. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, 'The Sense of an Ending' is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. | |
