How Things Were" is a novel study of how memory and perceptions of the past shape our view of the present. Julian Barnes creates a complex, multi-layered account of how individual memories can change over time and how they affect perceptions of the world around them.

The book's protagonist, Mr. George, faces a rethinking of his past and the realization that many of his memories may be distorted. The novel explores themes of loss, nostalgia and reimagined self-identification. Barnes masterfully describes the characters' inner experiences, raising questions about truth and distortion in the context of personal history and public perception.
