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
*Observer*
A precise, poignant portrait of the costs and benefits of time
passing, of friendship, of love. A small masterpiece
*The Times*
A wonderful story that is all too human and all so real
*Irish Times*
An extremely moving, a precise book about the imprecision of memory
and how it constructs people, stories and histories.
*Guardian*
From the moment that we hear from the woodworm which snuck aboard
Noah’s ark to the final pages of the novel, Barnes interrogates
moral dilemmas and motivations. These tales could easily be read is
isolation, but are much better when consumed as a whole.
