'A moving portrayal of characters facing the end of their lives and looking back with regret, resignation or defiance.'
The Independent
In a collection that is wise, funny, clever and moving, Julian Barnes has created characters whose passions and longings are made all the stronger by the knowledge that, for them, time is almost at an end.
From the hairdressing salon where an old man measures out his life in haircuts, to the concert hall where a music lover carries out an obsessive campaign against those who cough in concerts; from the woman who reads elaborate recipes to her sick husband as a substitute for sex, to the woman 'incarcerated' in an old people's home beginning a correspondence with an author that enriches both their lives—all Barnes' characters, in their different ways, square up to death and rage against the dying light.
'Masterly ... his best stories have a strong air of Maupassant about them ... extraordinarily effective ... a compelling series of vignettes of old age, executed with great skill.'
The Daily Telegraph
