Product Description
by Julian Barnes (Author)
The bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending delivers "a remarkably original and subtle book" (The New York Review of Books) about the nature of love and jealousy.
At the start of this fiendishly comic and suspenseful novel, a mild-mannered English academic chuckles as he watches his wife commit adultery. The action takes place before she met him. But lines between film and reality, past and present become terrifyingly blurred in this sad and funny tour de force from the author of Flaubert's Parrot.
