The End Of The Affair

Singularly beautiful and moving

Evelyn Waugh

One of the most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language

William Faulkner

In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety

William Golding

Devastating study of the collision of different kinds of faith, betrayal and commitment

The Times

This novel had a great effect on my life... This is not a sentimental book, or one full of the kindness of God, in that both the man and the woman suffer the pain of loss and feel the heat of hell. This novel persuaded me to become a Catholic

Beryl Bainbridge, Guardian

Greene's novel of illicit love captures perfectly the atmosphere of rainy wartime London - try to read this in one sitting if you can

Express

I must have read Graham Greene's The End of the Affair 20 times

Clare Francis

A deliciously uncomfortable read for anyone who's allowed their heart to rule their head

Mariella Frostrup, Psychologies

Passionate, powerful and complex

Susannah York, Daily Express

One of our greatest authors - for experience of a whole century he was the man within

Independent

No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene

The Times

Greene’s classic wartime drama The End of the Affair is no less gripping for its simplicity…this unacceptable love, this devastating outcome.

Chris Pavone, Big Issue

A brilliantly spare examination of loneliness and the search for forgiveness in an unforgiving world… superbly atmospheric… This is Greene at his most existential and metaphysically dense… It remains an astonishing achievement

Douglas Kennedy, Writing Magazine

Astounding... This...is the best [Greene novel]...brimming with pain and rage. If you ever have aspirations to write a novel, read Greene. He's the perfect writer's writer
