Beskrivelse
A reflective novel by Julian Barnes about love, memory, and the final stages of life.
A moving exploration of relationships, aging, and the meaning we find in our memories.
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending, Departure(s) is a fictional tale that feels deeply true. It follows Stephen and Jean, who fall in love both in their youth and later in their old age. Alongside their story is Jimmy, an elderly Jack Russell blissfully unaware of his own mortality. The book delves into the ways our bodies betray us-whether through aging, illness, accidents, or choice-and how our experiences gradually transform into stories and memories. It raises the question: does it matter if our memories are accurate, or is it enough that they mattered to us? Starting at the end of life, the story goes beyond, touching on the essential themes of finding happiness and knowing when to say goodbye.
