The Sense of an Ending is a story about the paradoxes of existence, the unreliability of memory and the way we curate our memories to tell a manipulated version of the story of our lives.
It's utterly brilliant.

As supporting info, I’m a big reader of contemporary fiction but just haven’t yet got around to Barnes. I didn’t enjoy The Sense of an Ending or The Noise of Time btw. Should I stick to Martin Amis?

History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.
