“Most of us have only one story to tell. I don’t mean that only one thing happens to us in our lives: there are countless events, which we turn into countless stories. But there’s only one that matters, only one finally worth telling.”

This book starts off interestingly about a 19 year old man who has come home from college for his summer break. It could have been a better read had it involved more characters but then again I think that was the idea since the book is called “The only story”. It is a different kind of romantic novel that explores the relationship between a 19 year old and  48 year old married woman and it is as though the author aims to deconstruct the shock waves that take place due to this arrangement. 

I decided to read more from Julian Barnes after having read The sense of an Ending which was very philosophical. This  however is a breezy book and perfect for light reading. 

“Things, once gone, can't be put back; he knew that now. A punch, once delivered, can't be withdrawn. Words, once spoken, can't be unsaid. We may go on as if nothing has been lost, nothing done, nothing said; we may claim to forget it all; but our innermost core doesn't forget, because we have been changed forever.”

guarda quanto è più trasgressiva la mia relazione della tua. guarda che forza hanno i miei sentimenti per lei, e i suoi per me. perchè era questa la sola cosa che contasse, naturalmente, perchè dalla forza dei sentimenti dipendeva la misura della felicità, giusto? al tempo gli era sembrato un concetto di abbacinante ragionevolezza . #julianbarnes #theonlystory #lunicastoria #susannabasso #einaudi (presso Bergamo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo0drfnNOt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x44ml35g02ll

I have been looking forward to taking part in The Reading Rush 2020 and this was the first book I added to my TBR as soon as I got the reading prompts. I am using this book for the prompt to "read a book with a cover that matches your birthstone". One of my birthstones is Aquamarine and though the cover looks almost white in the photo, it is a very pretty light blue in person. In case anybody is also taking part in the PopSugar reading challenge, this also covers the prompt of Read a book with only words on the cover, no images or graphics. I got this book as part of a subscription box from The Big Book Box. I am listening to the audiobook which is available on both Storytel and RB Digital. . . . . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #TheOnlyStory #JulianBarnes #PopsugarReadingChallenge2020 #PopsugarReadingChallenge #thereadingrush #thereadingrush2020 #readingrush #readingrush2020 #TheBigBookBox #Storytel @storytel.in #RBDigital @recordedbooks @tbb_box @thereadingrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3woy4Ap7X/?igshid=waq41z2fzp4p

A superb and mesmerizing story about first love and how it shapes a young man and changes everything he believes in. Paul meets Susan during his tennis training and is infatuated by her, even though she is much older than him and is also married. Despite strong opposition from his family, Susan's family and the society they fight and struggle to ensure their love sustains everything. Paul's decision to not give up on his love will bear great consequences on his life and the widening gap between him and Susan will test him to his wits. I was immensely touched by the affection and sincere devotion that Paul had towards his love. the stood by her as much as he could. The story is told from Paul's point of view and the dialogue is intriguing and attention gripping. I was lost from the moment I started reading this book till the last page. A very touching story. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #bookworm #booknerd #bookdragon #booklioness #bookboss #bookmama #booklady #bookwoman #theonlystory #julianbarnes #booktherapy #bibliotherapist #bibliotherapy #bestreads2018 #fiction (at Dar Es Salam, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania)
