ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes follows Tony Webster, a man confronting his past when he receives a bequest from the mother of an old girlfriend. This leads him to reflect on his youth, his relationships, and his memories. The narrative explores themes of memory, responsibility, and the subjectivity of truth as Tony attempts to retrieve a diary from his former girlfriend, Veronica. He revisits old relationships, uncovering past actions and their consequences. The story questions the reliability of memory, the impact of past choices, and the elusive nature of understanding, showcasing how personal narratives shape one's perceptions of reality. The story uses a non linear narrative structure, jumping between past and present to explore these themes.
