โฆ Synopsis
A fighter pilot, high
above the English Channel in 1941, watches the sun rise; he descends
10,000 feet and then, to his amazement, finds the sun beginning to rise
again. With this haunting image Julian Barnes' novel begins. It charts
the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginnings as a naive, carefree
country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in
the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her
questioning of male truths, her adventures in motherhood and in China;
we learnt the questions she asks of life and the often unsatisfactory
answers it provides
