A new, Vintage Classics red spine edition of the Booker Prize-winning novel, The Sense of an Ending, published to celebrate the enduring impact of writing a career that spans almost half a century

We live in time - it holds us and molds us - but I never felt I understood it very well.

Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, Tony Webster and Adrian Finn swore to stay friends for life. Now in middle age, a lawyer's letter proves that Tony's memory may be imperfect. The story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past, The Sense of an Ending is laced with Julian Barnes' trademark precision, dexterity and insight, and won him the Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011.

'A precise, poignant portrait of the costs and benefits of time passing, of friendship, of love. A small masterpiece' Erica Wagner, The Times
