Glad i found this explanation because the Netflix movie really bungles it up in fact it portrays Tony asking Veronica whete the relationship is geafing and she's ambivalent to it snd says "ford ut have to go anywhere" basically signifying she's not intetested in getting serious....wheteas you're saying that in the book Tony was ambivalent about making a serious commitment.
Thanks for this - I just read it today and did NOT understand that Adrian and Sarah made the baby. So, a big question for me is answered. There are other questions that you don't touch upon, such as Veronica's mother Sarah's behavior: was she flirting with Tony and he just didn't get it? I get the feeling that Julian Barnes is no friend of humanity.
Wrong. p36 - "So, do you ever think about where our relationship is heading?" She said it just like that, out of the blue. She had come around for tea, bringing slices of fruitcake.
Good overall. However, i must disagree at one point. You stated that Tony loved Veronica, but lacked commitment. I must say it's Veronica who lacked commitment, she played as she wished. She knew Tony was 150% into her, so she did as pleased. What she really wanted isn't clear either. As far as i get it, cause i know people like that, she's just a weirdo, and there was, so far, just one person in her life she could play these games with, so she did. Why was it so... We'll never know
I just finished it too. My first book I have read since the death of my husband. I have not be able to read. My DIL went to a book store in Fla and the owner had lost her husband and not able to get back into the foray of reading too and she told her this book got her back into reading. I jumped right in and read it and thought it brilliant and read it in a day ! I am back ! ( to reading , that is )… 😊

1:27 Anthony asks where the relationship is going, not Veronica. Infact Veronica didn't have a concrete answer. I believe he wanted to commit.

Can you please explain Abigail Dean's- 'Girl A'
Hi Sruthi, will keep your request in mind! Keep an eye out for our future episodes :)
@@abstractaf 😇😇
You're trusting Tony. You shouldn't. The hints all point to Tony and Sarah.
That’s what I thought too. We can’t believe his conclusion because ‘he will never get it.’
I just finished that book, what a coincidence!!
That's great! Hope you enjoyed reading it :)
@@abstractaf yeah! I do. Final chapter was much interesting and page Turner. ಥ_ಥ
