Summary:
"From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending, an achingly profound love
story
between a young man on the cusp of adulthood and a woman whose life is gradually moving in the opposite direction. Most of us have
only
one
story
to tell. I don't mean that
only
one thing happens to us in our lives: there are countless events, which we turn into countless stories. But there's
only
one that matters,
only
one finally worth telling. This is mine. It is the early 1960s, and in a staid suburb fifteen miles south of London, Paul, nineteen, home from university for the holidays, is urged by his mother to join the tennis club. At the mixed doubles tournament he is partnered with Mrs. Susan Macleod: she's twice his age, and the married mother of two nearly grown-up daughters. Soon Paul and Susan embark on an unconventional affair, despite the disapproval of Paul's parents and the seething resentment of Susan's husband, who can't quite play along with the ruse that Paul is merely a surrogate son and family friend. Wryly observant and devastatingly tender, Julian Barnes has created an eviscerating portrait of an unforgettable pair of star-cross'd lovers. The
Only
Story
is a profound, contemplative novel by one of fiction's greatest mappers of the human heart."--From publisher.
