From the award-winning novelist, a compact narrative that turns on the death of a vivid and particular woman and becomes the occasion for a man's deeper examination of love, friendship and biography.

The task of the present is to correct our understanding of the past. And that task becomes the more urgent when the past cannot be corrected.

Elizabeth Finch was a teacher, a thinker, an inspiration—always rigorous, always thoughtful. With careful empathy, she guided her students to develop meaningful ideas and to discover their centres of seriousness.

As a former student unpacks her notebooks and remembers her uniquely inquisitive mind, her passion for reason resonates through the years. Her ideas unlock the philosophies of the past and explore key events that show us how to make sense of our lives today. And underpinning them all is the story of J—Julian the Apostate, her historical soulmate and fellow challenger to the institutional and monotheistic thinking that has always threatened to divide us.

This is more than a novel. It's a loving tribute to philosophy, a careful evaluation of history, an invitation to think for ourselves. It's a moment to reflect and to gently explore our own theories and assumptions. It is truly a balm for our times.

I like Julian Barnes and have found him to be erudite and always worth a listen.
Despite reading a previous newspaper review (which was not flattering) I nevertheless thought I would give this a go.
Frankly, I found the overall experience dull, I initially wondered if my lack of knowledge concerning Julian had caused me to misunderstand or miss something…..but maybe not.
Don’t attempt it unless you are a fan, and certainly don’t if like me you like to listen whilst gardening or decorating, wish I’d stuck to radio 4!

Educational but borderline dull

I love Julian Barnes but this descends into an opinionated history book and I could barely finish it. God knows what he was thinking. So boring. For fans only, I guess.

A story with interest and intrigue but did not warm to any character and therefore I was rather bored by it all. Read out of duty to my book group!

The main character was so cold and dislikable.

Apparently based on Anita Brookner an author I read a lot in the past. I preferred the parts about her to the Julian the apostate bits but I learned a fair amount.

I found it difficult to finish towards the end. Nevertheless, it is probably worth re-reading and having a second try.

Disappointing!
