After a long time, I chanced upon a beautiful, thought provoking book - The Sense of an Ending, by Julian Barnes.
The book resonated with me like no other. The author uses a clever tool: he talks about how memory can color our perception and our idea of the past, while the memory itself is colored by what we perceive as the right thing, the good thing. The theme involves regret, remorse, the emotions every human being will go through in his/her life at least once. Lost opportunities, past mistakes, suppressed feelings, oppressed thoughts - it could be anything.
