The Sense of an Ending (Vintage International) - Softcover

"Elegant, playful, and remarkable." --The New Yorker

"A page-turner, and when you finish you will return immediately to the beginning." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Beautiful. . . . An elegantly composed, quietly devastating tale." --Heller McAlpin, NPR

"Dense with philosophical ideas. . . . It manages to create genuine suspense as a sort of psychological detective story." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"Evelyn Waugh did it in Brideshead Revisited, as did Philip Larkin in Jill [and] Kazuo Ishiguro in The Remains of the Day. Now, with his powerfully compact new novel, Julian Barnes takes his place among the subtly assertive practitioners of this quiet art." --The New York Times Book Review

Follows a middle-aged man as he reflects on a past he thought was behind him, until he is presented with a legacy that forces him to reconsider different decisions, and to revise his place in the world, in a story that inspired the forthcoming film. Reissue. A Man Booker Prize winner. Movie tie-in.
