Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 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 in middle age. Hes had a career and a single marriage a calm divorce. Hes certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory though is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises as a lawyers 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 and insight it is the work of one of the worlds most distinguished writers.
