SYNOPSIS |
|
A fighter pilot, high above the English Channel in 1941, watches the sun rise; he descends 10, ooo feet and then, to his amazement, finds the sun beginning to rise again. With this haunting image Julian Barnes's fourth novel begins. It charts the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginnings as a naive, carefree country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her questioning of male truths, her adventures in motherhood and in China
