A worthy winner!

So what, that you are left thinking about some flaws in the plot after you put down Booker Prize Winner 'The sense of an ending' by Julian Barnes. The read itself is so absolutely absorbing that you forgive all gaps of logic. After all, why would Adrian send his diary to Veronica's mother and why would she leave it to Tony in her will? I love how the author, through the central character of Tony, plays around with notions of memory and responsibility. The setting rings true, the characters evolve in their likability and the clever descriptions of conversations and events are delightful. Even when all is revealed, you will be left guessing.
