The Short Stack Book Club will meet the third Friday of the month to discuss short novels. This month’s selection is The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes. The novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about until his oldest friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he'd left all of this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider various things, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and his place in the world.
Copies will be held at the circulation desk for check out. Drop-ins are welcomed.
