<b>Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize<br /></b><br /><b>One of <i>The Atlantic</i>'s Best Books I Read This Year<br /><br /></b>A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. <br /> <br />This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
