"Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life.Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove."

This is such a beautiful and well-written novel by Julian Barnes! No wonder it’s on the 1001 Must Read Books list and it also won the Man Booker Prize in 2011. The novel has only 150 pages, but it contains a lot and there is no better title for it. I will also watch the movie adapted from the book in 2017.
