The End of the Affair

If you are looking for a heavy, dramatic read try “The End of the Affair” by Graham Greene. I loved this angst-filled novel.

The story slowly reveals the ill-fated love affair of Maurice and Sarah. Greene threads the novel with a strong quest for faith and self-understanding.

This book has been made into a movie, which I have not seen, but I can’t imagine how a movie could portray the depth of Greene’s work.
