The Sense of an Ending is the story of Tony Webster, a man coming to terms with the mutable past. 

Laced with Barnes' trademark precision, dexterity and insight, The Sense of an Ending is a novel brimming sophistication and stunning psychological and emotional depth so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting.

"A brief but potent work about memory, class, sex and the way we imperfectly bear witness to our own lives ... Each of Barnes's meticulously written sentences bears lingering over, and the novella's impact has a visceral power." -- Winnipeg Free Press
