Winner of the Man Booker Prize. I did not think that this novel was a Booker winner, however, that decision was not mine. It was an interesting look at a man examining his past and how he may have impacted the lives of others. In reality his role was quite small and could be limited to a mean-spirited letter he had written to a school mate who was dating his former girlfriend. There was a lot of naval gazing and pretentiousness in the characters. The ending, which revealed Adrian's suicide and explained Veronica's relationships with her mother and mentally handicapped brother, was illuminating, but did not redeem anyone.
