About this item
Winner of the 2011 Man Booker PrizeOne of The Atlantics Best Books I Read This YearA novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barness oeuvre. This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much aboutuntil 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.
