Do you remember "how it all happened"?
Remember the "love triangle" that linked a quiet yuppie, a talented loser and a mediocre art restorer into an amazing, sarcastic "modern comedy of manners"?
The option "they lived happily and died on the same day" does not work here by definition!
And what, actually, does it work out?
"Love and Sorts"!
The novel that was best described in "Time": "A stunningly funny book. Smart. And touching!"
Wodehouse? Woody Allen?
No - Julian Barnes at his best!
