I read ‘The Sense of an Ending’ by Julian Barnes soon after it had won the Man Booker Prize in 2011. Once I received the book, the most striking part was its minimal cover design. Though I was clueless on what to expect from a book that merely ran into 150 pages! Least to say, the introductory paragraph itself blew me away. The everyday, mundane routine of one’s life connected through a dotted line leading to a certain precipice.
