The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

This award-winning novel follows a middle-aged man as he is forced to contend with people and a past that he hasn’t thought of in many years.  We follow Tony Webster as a school boy, philosophizing with his chums and as he grows through a happy, then failed marriage.  This short novel is packed with mystery and emotion.  Check Our Catalog



The Dog Who Came in From the Cold by Alexander McCall Smith

Another funny, whimsical and thoroughly enjoyable read in this author's Corduroy Mansions series, which is a bit like the 44 Scotland Street series but set in London instead of in Edinburgh. McCall Smith has no peer when it comes to gently yet relentlessly skewering his motley assortment of characters, exposing everyday human failings and foibles. You will chuckle, and wince, and probably recognize yourself a few times.
