Levels of Life: A Memoir (Vintage International)

Julian Barnes, author of the Man Booker Prize€“winning novel The Sense of an Ending, gives us his most powerfully moving book yet, beginning in the nineteenth century and leading seamlessly into an entirely personal account of loss€"making Levels of Life an immediate classic on the subject of grief.
 
Levels of Life is a book about ballooning, photography, love and loss; about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded Barnes the 2011 Booker Prize described him as €œan unparalleled magus of the heart.€ This book confirms that opinion.
 
€œSpare and beautiful...a book of rare intimacy and honesty about love and grief.  To read it is a privilege.  To have written it is astonishing.€ €"Ruth Scurr, The Times of London

€œA remarkable narrative that is as raw in its emotion as it is characteristically elegant in its execution.€  €"Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times
