Then there is Oliver, his glamorous, epigrammatic best friend. And veering wildly between them is Gillian, the cryptic beauty who marries Stuart and then astonishes everyone by falling in love with Oliver. These three are at once the protagonists and the hilariously unreliable “eye-witnesses” of this funny, elegant, and affecting novel by bestselling author Julian Barnes, which reimagines the romantic triangle as a weapon whose edges cut like razor blades.\"An interplay of serious thought and dazzling wit. . . . It's moving, it's funny, it's frightening . . . fiction at its best.\" —\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A marvelously entertaining performance . . . with enormous brio and élan.” —\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A novel of adultery . . . that is English, obsessive and dangerous. . . .

It has a perfectly modulated tone, shrewdly observed characters, and a cunning wisdom.” —\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003eBorn in Leicester in 1946, Julian Barnes is the author of nine novels, a book of   stories, and a collection of essays.
