The End of the Affair

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead. Set in wartime London during the Blitz, Graham Greene’s acknowledged masterpiece is a heartbreaking exploration of love, obsessive jealousy, and faith. When novelist Maurice Bendrix runs into Henry Miles, the husband of his former mistress Sarah, he hires a private detective to track her movements, hoping to uncover why she abruptly severed their passionate affair. But when Sarah's private diary is stolen and delivered into Bendrix's hands, the devastating truth behind her vow and sacrifice changes everything.
