It starts with an awkward recollection of some of the events in Tony's life.The narrator, who is now around 60 years, starts the story with his School life events. Tony, Alex, Adrian and one more guy were close friends in their School. They were voracious book readers. They discuss history and philosophical thoughts frequently. The other friends always thought that Adrian was very clear in his ideas of life.
The book discusses many questions like 'What is History?', 'the moral authority of oneself over the ending of one's own life', the moral scruples of dating friend's ex-girlfriend etc. At each phase in Tony's life, the answers to each of these questions differ and in some cases exactly contradictory to each other. So, is there a concrete answer for a moral question?
The narration is incredible as it depicts a small incident which turned into a chain of events which took a guy's life and the life's of another 2 people were affected terribly. At the climax, you would be wondering who had done what. As a whole, it is a kind of book which makes you think in each paragraph.
A gripping thriller kind of read with moral debates interwoven!!!
