Author(s): Julian Barnes

Fiction

Hello! We've met before...Yes, I am sure. Positive. About ten years ago. Stuart's right. We have met before, and his best friend Oliver, and Gillian, the woman they both loved. In Talking it Over Gillian and Stuart were married until Oliver - witty, feckless Oliver - stole her away. In Love, etc Julian Barnes revisits the three of them, using the same intimate technique of allowing the characters to speak directly to the reader, to whisper their secrets, to argue for their version of the truth. Darker and deeper than its predecessor, Love, etc is a compelling exploration of contemporary love and its betrayals.
