Description

Following the best selling Arthur & George and Nothing to Be Scared Of, Julian Barnes returns with fourteen tales about yearning and loss, friendship and love, whose mystical natures he investigates with his trademark humor and watchful attention. From an imperial money in the eighteenth-century to Garibaldi’s activities in the nineteenth, from the vineyards of Italy to the English beach within our period, he discovers the “stages, changes, arguments” define us. A recently separated realtor can’t avoid entering his reticent girlfriend’s solitude, however the info he discovers shows just his callously short attention. A few get together via an unlawful smoke and a tune discussed within the noise of the Chinese restaurant.
