Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life.
Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
A masterpiece... I would urge you to read - and re-read - The Sense of an Ending (Daily Telegraph )
Mesmerising... the concluding scenes grip like a thriller - a whodunit of memory and morality (Independent )
A very fine book, skilfully plotted, boldly conceived... Barnes has achieved...something of universal importance (Justin Cartwright Observer )
A precise, poignant portrait of the costs and benefits of time passing, of friendship, of love. A small masterpiece (Erica Wagner The Times )
A wonderful story that is all too human and all so real (Irish Times )
Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 and a Sunday Times bestseller - this is a brilliant novel from a writer at the very height of his powers
