  • Summary

  • The End of the Affair by Graham Greene is a poignant and introspective novel that explores love, jealousy, faith, and the complexities of human relationships. Set in London during and after World War II, the story is narrated by Maurice Bendrix, a bitter and cynical novelist who recounts his tumultuous love affair with Sarah Miles, the wife of a civil servant, Henry Miles.


    Their passionate relationship ends abruptly when Sarah mysteriously breaks it off without explanation. Maurice, consumed by jealousy and suspicion, becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind her decision. As he delves deeper into her life, he discovers her struggle with faith and a secret promise she made to God during a life-altering moment.


    The novel is a profound meditation on the nature of love, the existence of God, and the human capacity for forgiveness. Greene's masterful prose and exploration of moral and spiritual dilemmas make The End of the Affair a timeless classic of modern literature.
