Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 Tony Webster & his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry & book-hungry they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together trading in affectations in-jokes rumour & 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 in middle age. He's had a career & 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. The Sense of an Ending is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. Laced with trademark precision dexterity & insight it is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers.
