The Sense of an Ending

Our next book club meeting will discuss Julian Barnes' The Sense of an Ending. We will have much to discuss. I knew from the first page that something was up with the narrator when he said, "but what you end of remembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed."

This is my first Julian Barnes novel, and I am going to read more. On the one hand, this book was an easy read, and if I'd had the time, I would have tried to do it in one sitting. It's only 167 pages. Did I say easy? I meant quick. And yet, now that I am finished with it, I think I want to reread it because so many questions go unanswered. I found a blog which speculates on some of these mysteries, and so many people posted comments that I feel as though I have already gone through one book club discussion.

No spoilers here, folks. I just recommend that your book clubs choose this one if they haven't already.
