Love, Etc. by Julian Barnes |
Despite a rather inconclusive end, what a genius! I love 'the offstage close-harmony tinkle of forks cascading into their little stacking nooks.....' and Julian Barnes is as good with human emotions as he is on loading the dishwasher. I never persevered with 'Talking it Over', which introduced the three main characters in this 'love triangle', but found this one witty, entertaining and perceptive, though with (finally) quite a chilly outlook on life etc.
