The Sense of an Ending

<p><strong>Now a major film starring Academy Award nominees Jim Broadbent (</strong><strong><em>Iris</em></strong><strong>) and Charlotte Rampling (</strong><strong><em>45 Years</em></strong><strong>)</strong><br /><strong><br />Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 </strong><br /><br />Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life.<br /><br />Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.</p>
