So in this final book not much happens at all. In the first half the Narrator talks about different peoples' opinions on World War One and just briefly mentions that he was in a sanatorium for some time. The second half of the book just kind of meanders about and he touches on several topics and talks about getting reacquainted with the people from the book later on in his life. There is quite a bit of musing about getting older. There is also a very interesting sequence about how chance plays such a large part in life and how the offhand remark of a friend or acquaintance can alter the direction your life goes. This is something I often think about so I could relate to what he was saying. At one point he also mentions Madame Bovary.I'm so glad to finish that I'll give this one a B-.
