The Only Story

I typically do not read love stories. They bore me. But when Julian Barnes writes a love story there is nothing typical about it. From the concept of the story to the treatment of it. I loved this book. Paul falls in love with Susan and then spends his whole life living around that love. The whole tale of Paul and Susan's love over time is revealed in layers of their personalities and the people around them. Julian Barnes has some very incisive revelations to make. It is a beautifully told saga of love between two most unlikely people.
