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.

Now a major film

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

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 It is a monumental novel capturing the struggle of art and the artist under the hand of totalitarianism. -- Julia Atherley Palatinate 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
