Bought at Brisbane airport a few months ago. I’m trying to finish it in time to release it at the 2018 Convention in Bordeaux.

I finished it! While I have read and enjoyed Julian Barnes before, I found this one a bit boring. Hopefully it will find a more suitable reader.

Picked it up at the Bookcrossing Convention in Bordeaux along with Barnes' previous novel The Noise of Time.

Brilliant writing, as expected. Not exactly a topic I have much interest in but it's so wonderfully written, with all those insights and descriptions of the human mind, I enjoy pretty much anything Barnes writes about.
Finished it just in time to take it with me to the UK BC UnConvention tomorrow.

Released at the UK UnConvention in Ipswich.

Hoping I’ll enjoy this recommended book!

I wasn't too interested in the subject matter, too much 'navel gazing' for me! But the writing kept me going. The story line was a bit disappointing, but wouldn't completely put me off reading this author.
