In March we read The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2011

Tony Webster and his clique first met
Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would
navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations,
in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious
than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to
stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a
single marriage, a calm divorce. He's cetainly never tried to hurt
anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up
surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
