Hi. Just finished "The Sense of An Ending", truly a psychological thriller! As far as I am concerned, a bigger portion of the book was monotonous monologue of a middle-aged person, who by past of life can shed light on the passed way by very deep and exciting philosophical thoughts and concepts. However, in the end of this great work I got convinced in Margaret's categorisation of the women, namely the sharp and the mysterious ones. Indeed, I was asking myself: What else did not he understand? When I finally came to know partially what he did not understand, I burst into tears. Why? It is because that I, like many of my peers at the age of 52 have had mysterious women in their "past" lives. Women, whose puzzles are not yet solved and/or may not ever be. I decided to buy a few pieces of this work and send each to a close relative and friend. Here is what I would like to ask you about? The friends, whom I will present the book are almost my age +/- 5 years. Can I present them to younger ones, who still do NOT have to or do NOT want to ask themselves "What else have I done wrong?"

Oh my sensitive boy!! If you cry when reading Barnes’s ‘ the Sense of an Ending’, then what would happen if you read We are all attracted by the questions we can’t answer, because it’s these questions that teach us the most. They teach us how to think.. If a woman gives a man all the answers, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he’ll look for the answer… From his answer the woman knows if he is the right man for her…. Therefore, I am sorry to break the news ,but you were obviously giving the wrong answers… Now, I think carrying with you a book like ‘ the Sense of an Ending’ could be a good reason for starting up a conversation with a woman.. But remember!! Books are easier to find, but they are a poor substitute for female companionship. GOOD LUCK!!!
