Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Sense of an Ending in Books

A chain reaction of events
Without revealing too much about the ending, the story follows retired Tony, who re-evaluates his life after receiving a letter from a solicitor. It's a fairly simple drama about how someone's inconsequential actions can have a big impact on another.
Tony is led to remember a time in which his school friend killed himself while dating his ex-girlfriend at university. And his own actions which ultimately causes him remorse. It is a poignant and tragic tale of thinking before speaking. Wonderful, humanistic writing by Julian Barnes.
