The Sense of an Ending -- Julian Barnes

<b>This Man Booker Prize-winning novel is now a major motion picture. <p/></b>A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. <p/>This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about--until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Julian Barnes<br><b>Publisher:</b> Vintage<br><b>Published:</b> 05/29/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.43lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.05h x 5.53w x 0.69d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780307947727<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> 07/01/2012 pg. 28<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Julian Barnes is the author of twenty previous books including, most recently, <i>Keeping an Eye Open</i>.
