Love, etc.

Synopsis of Love, etc.

«Love, etc.» is the novel by Julian Barnes, published by Alfred A. Knopf in hardcover (240 pages, in English).

After a decade in the United States, Stuart returns to London and seeks out Gillian, his ex-wife, now married to Oliver, his former best friend and the cause of the breakup. Through interlocking monologues, the three give their versions: Stuart has prospered, Oliver drags artistic failures, and the marriage is faltering. A tragicomedy about friendship, betrayal, forgiveness, and truth depending on who tells it.

First American edition. Originally published in Great Britain by Jonathan Cape in 2000; this edition is from 2001.

For readers of literary and romantic fiction who want a story about relationships told from multiple perspectives.
