BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

As the title suggests, this book is a collection of diverse short stories. Some may be related, others open a door to a whole other world. Some are dark, some are humorous. Dive into the words of sadness, joy, love and acceptance. "Endless" or as it is introduced in this book: "There was once an immortal who learned about love alone" is a series of times loosely, times closely related short stories which depict the journey of an immortal trying to understand what it means to love. This journey has many ups and downs, many twists, but in the end, do you think she'll find the answer? That is not all you'll find in this book. There might even be surprises for later, but there are also moments of inspiration and reminders that you are a special part of our beautiful world.

In a world where silence speaks louder than words, one being grapples with the unbearable weight of existence. Trapped in a room where memories are both salvation and torment, they confront the echoes of a forgotten past and the enigmatic presence of a force that defies comprehension. Each page pulls you deeper into the mind of a soul caught between despair and revelation, as they unravel the twisted threads of their own creation. As the lines between reality and illusion blur, you, the reader, become complicit in their descent. Will you dare to open the door, knowing that the truth might be more than you can bear? In Before I Remember, reality unravels, memory distorts, and identity blurs. What truths will you uncover and which will you choose to believe?

Jessie wanted a love like in the movies. She has a degree and she has a job and she has friends. But after waiting for years, the one thing she is missing, is to fall in love and to be loved for the first time. A romantic at heart but almost ready to give up on love she finds a love that feels like it was taken from a screen or the pages of a teenage novel. The man who convinces her that love exists is as sweet as she always dreamed, a musician and therefore as interesting as she always hoped and from a different country so falling in love feels even more dramatic. She gets to live the illusion of the fairytale for a year before it all starts to crumble. The man she loved never really existed and she does not know how to pick up the pieces. One half of this book reads like a teenage dream... the other like a nightmare.

Dreams show wonder, dreams show horror, and their interpretation is a fool's exercise. They can end the long slumber of things that shouldn't be awake and allow cursed eyes a terrible glimpse into things better left unseen.
