Julian Barnes is a skilled writer and observer of humans. Every story is a small polished gem with something or someone to ponder. My only “complaint “ is that, as a non-European, I suspect I did not understand, appreciate or even (in many cases) notice the involvement of the subtly nuanced relationship between the English and the French.
