Description

Shy, sensible banker Stuart has trouble with women; that is, until a fortuitous single night, where he meets Gillian, a picture restorer recovering from a destructive affair. The problem? The ostentatious Oliver also falls in love with quiet Gillian and wants to marry her.  Soon, Stuart and Gillian are married, but it is not long before a tentative friendship between the three evolves into something far different. Talking it Over is a brilliant and intimate account of love’s vicissitudes from the Booker Prize-winning author. Each character takes turns addressing the reader in this bright and funny “he said/she said/he said” novel, drawing us compellingly into the quagmires of the heart.

"Barnes is fun, smart, even wise." —Kirkus Reviews"[Barnes] works as if to show that he too can bring off the tight, murderous and comical British set-piece. [Talking it Over] certainly shows that he can. . . . What is impossible to suggest, except by asserting, is [Barnes's] almost magical skill in making his three-part counterpoint work so well. Each of the three voices catches us, holds us and relinquishes us." —Los Angeles Times
