The Sense of an Ending

Book • 2011
The novel is narrated by Tony Webster, a retired man who recounts his adolescent friendship with Adrian Finn and his early romantic relationships.

The story is divided into two parts: the first part describes Tony's teenage years and early adulthood, while the second part delves into his attempts to retrieve Adrian's diary, which forces him to reevaluate his memories and the truth about his past.

The book explores themes of memory, history, and the inaccuracies of personal narratives, highlighting how our perceptions of the past can be flawed and subject to revision over time.
