Media Reviews
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 Packs quite an emotional punch... Julian Barnes unravels the mystery with masterly skill. He springs surprise after surprise without stooping to sensationalism in a crisp, engaging tale -- Max Davidson Daily Mail Written in beautifully cadenced prose, it is a mature writer's reflections on love and marriage... on family and friendship, on work and death Time Out There is no catastrophe, simply a dawning awareness of the past, its consequences and its meaning for the present. It is a familiar narrative structure, but in the hands of the master-wordsmith that Barnes has become, the effect is cumulatively overwhelming... A compelling, disturbing and profoundly moving story of human fallibility -- Daniel Johnson Standpoint
