In 1946, in a London where the scars of war are still visible, Maurice Bendrix meets diplomat Henry Miles by chance, whom he hasn't seen for a long time. Henry is married to Sarah, with whom Maurice had an affair during the war. When Henry confesses that he suspects that Sarah is unfaithful, it will be Maurice, driven by curiosity and jealousy, who decides to hire a private detective to find out the truth. The End of the Affair is Greene's best novel and also one of his most autobiographical. His meticulous inquiry into the lights and shadows of a sentimental relationship, the mechanisms of desire and faith, and the close ties between love and hate retains the same force today as when it was published in 1951. Translated again by Eduardo Jord???, The end of the affair is undoubtedly one of the great books of the twentieth century.
