The Only Story by Julian Barnes

At the local tennis club, 19 year-old Paul, home from university to his London suburb, is recruited to fill out a mixed doubles match. He is paired with Susan, a 48 year-old married mother of two. An immediate connection is formed, setting the course for the rest of their lives. As Paul explains, “Most of us have only one story to tell...only one that matters, only one finally worth telling. This is mine.” This work of literary fiction recounts Paul’s story over decades in moving, thoughtful prose.
