A 'wonderfully funny..intelligent...moving' novel (Independent on Sunday) from Man Booker Prize-winning Julian Barnes.
Shy banker Stuart has trouble with women, until he meets Gillian, and they marry. But Stuart's best friend Oliver is his exact opposite, and it isn't long before their friendship starts to change. 'Scintillating... It's funny, quick on the draw and knows when to soften the gaze. It reads so smoothly, the pages seem to flip themselves' "Observer"
