Description
At nineteen, he’s proud of the fact his relationship flies in the face of social convention.
As he grows older, the demands placed on Paul by love become far greater than he could possibly have foreseen.
Tender and wise, The Only Story is a deeply moving novel by one of Britain's greatest mappers of the human heart.
A novelist at the height of his powers ... Quietly devastating.
Exquisite.
Emotionally acute, profoundly beautiful, as droll as it is deep... this has to be one of the smartest novels that 2018 has to offer.
A gentle, bleak, and brilliant novel.
Immensely powerful.
This intense, taut, sad and often beautiful tale may well be Barnes’ best novel for years.
A tender and heartbreaking novel.
As quiet and aching and intimate as a James Blake ballad.
A sensitive look at what makes lovers tick.
A vivid dramatization of the narcissism of obsessive love.
Julian Barnes is the author of thirteen novels, including The Sense of an Ending, which won the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, and Sunday Times bestsellers The Noise of Time and The Only Story. He has also written three books of short stories, four collections of essays and three books of non-fiction, including the Sunday Times number one bestseller Levels of Life and Nothing To Be Frightened Of, which won the 2021 Yasnaya Polyana Prize in Russia. In 2017 he was awarded the Légion d'honneur.
