Love, Etc.

Julian Barnes

The story is narrated directly to the reader by the three characters. Although Andrew enjoyed this book, he felt he was a little too old to be reading it as it dealt with issues that he'd dealt with a lot earlier in life. If he had read it in his 20s, Andrew thought he would have enjoyed it more. One point of interest (possibly) would be to go to the previous book (Talking It Over) and check how the character of Oliver had changed.

Another very unsettling book but told in a chatty conversational style. Barnes is very good at what he does. Everyone in the book behaves very badly but it's a compelling read.
