A short read takes you through Antony's life from school to retirement. The story takes you through decisions made and consequences. Friends and partners come and go, children grow up. A look at how events are viewed differently by different people and from different times in your own life. This book reminded me of Donna Tartt's Secret History, I think it was the way the main characters were able to look at their own lives in a detached way and perhaps the way the two main characters struggled with intimate relationships.
