A nobel prize winner and winner in my mind, The Sense of an Ending, certainly deserves all of its praise. This book is a quick read and one that, in spite of its philosophical nature, keeps you on your toes. It’s a different kind of “thriller,” but it still possesses nearly all of the same characteristics that a thriller might. Still yet, it maintains its sense of tranquility and peace.
Julian Barnes captures what it is to be human in such a beautiful and eloquent way. The Sense of an Ending makes you think about the past, present, and future in a way that you’ve always known to be true, but are now able to see clearly.
Although Julian’s truistic tone will at times sadden the reader, this novel is, nonetheless, an uplifting and realistic read of the human life.
