Now a major film starring Academy Award nominees Jim Broadbent (Iris) and Charlotte Rampling (45 Years). 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 retired. 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.

Reviews for The Sense of an Ending: The classic Booker Prize-winning novel

It is a monumental novel capturing the struggle of art and the artist under the hand of totalitarianism. -- Julia Atherley Palatinate An extremely moving, a precise book about the imprecision of memory and how it constructs people, stories and histories. -- Alasitair Bruce Guardian Intriguing and engaging. -- David Robb Daily Express 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
