Description

Staring at the Sun charts the life of Jean Serjeant from her early years as a carefree country girl to her wry and trenchant old age in 2020. This poignant novel follows her journey through marriage, motherhood, and adventure in China, as she grapples with the complexities of life and seeks answers to its often unsatisfactory questions.

Through Jean's story, Julian Barnes explores themes of identity, relationships, and the human experience, creating a deeply moving portrait of one woman's life. With its multiple timelines and nuanced characterization, Staring at the Sun is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that will linger with readers long after they finish reading.
