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.

Tony dreams that one day he'll become the most famous baker in northern Italy. His poor daughter Serafina wants to be allowed to marry. Each of their dreams seems far away until Angelo, a rich young nobleman from Milan, appears and devises a way to make everyone's dreams come true.

In prior generations of great faith and great prayer; it was fairly common for people to excitedly share with each other about the many personal miracles which each person noticed each day. Unfortunately, our current civilization has become somewhat NUMB to the presence of God and to all of the daily miracles which God, our friend, still sends to each one of us every day. Sadly; many people do not even call miracles (a miracle) any more. They now call miracles things like: (a mere accidental coincidence, a shocking event, a crazy thing, a funny thing, a weird thing, a cool thing, etc). When we allow God to become our friend, His miracles automatically show up in our daily lives -- (miracles automatically exist wherever God exists). It was because of all the miracles which the people of old did notice in the bible; that people came to know and believe in God. Would anyone ever believe in God if they never saw or heard about a miracle? Even Jesus said in John 14:11: "Believe me for the sake of the works (miracles) themselves."
