The characters of Talking It Over--Stuart, his wife Gillian, and his former best friend and his wife's lover, Oliver--return as they continue to discuss the mysteries of human relationships, emotion, and love, in a novel in which the diverse characters speak directly to the reader.

"[A]n altogether darker, sourer book [than TALKING IT OVER], a meandering saga of middle-age disappointment and bitterness and regret that's been lightly disguised as a tale of revenge. It's also a book that suffers from phoniness and authorial manipulation, a novel that for all its easy readability lacks its predecessor's persuasiveness and charm."

"Barnes has certainly left room for--indeed, has set the stage for--a concluding volume. I hope he writes it. Not just because I so enjoy the rumble and swerve of his prose but because he needs to recover and dramatize some of that sense of amour fou that drove the first novel and began to expire here."
