Klappentext zu „The Sense of an Ending “
Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 - a brilliant short novel from a writer at the very height of his powers. 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. Now Tony is in middle age. 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.

Rezension zu „The Sense of an Ending “
Packs quite an emotional punch... Julian Barnes unravels the mystery with masterly skill. He springs surprise after surprise without stooping to sensationalism in a crisp, engaging tale -- Max Davidson Daily Mail Written in beautifully cadenced prose, it is a mature writer's reflections on love and marriage... on family and friendship, on work and death Time Out There is no catastrophe, simply a dawning awareness of the past, its consequences and its meaning for the present. It is a familiar narrative structure, but in the hands of the master-wordsmith that Barnes has become, the effect is cumulatively overwhelming... A compelling, disturbing and profoundly moving story of human fallibility -- Daniel Johnson Standpoint It is a perfect novel of positively European economy and power (shades of Schnitzler, shades of Camus)... It is beyond the wit and depth of any current British writer -- Giles Coran Times
