The Trick Of It by Michael Frayn
A wry, introspective first-person account by a middle-aged academic who revisits a youthful, obsessive love affair and the tangled consequences for his marriage, friendships and professional life; mixing sharp comic observation with philosophical reflection, the narrator probes memory, self-deception and the difficulty of pinning down motives and truth as he tries to make sense of passion, regret and the elusiveness of human character.
