The Lemon Table (Vintage International)
Julian Barnes, author of the Man Booker Prize€“winning novel The Sense of an Ending, gives us his most powerfully moving book yet, beginning in the nineteenth century and leading seamlessly into an entirely personal account of loss€"making Levels of Life an immediate classic on the subject of grief.
Â
Levels of Life is a book about ballooning, photography, love and loss; about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded Barnes the 2011 Booker Prize described him as €œan unparalleled magus of the heart.€ This book confirms that opinion.
Â
€œSpare and beautiful...a book of rare intimacy and honesty about love and grief. To read it is a privilege. To have written it is astonishing.€ €"Ruth Scurr, The Times of London
€œA remarkable narrative that is as raw in its emotion as it is characteristically elegant in its execution.€Â €"Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times
