Summary
Graham Greene: The End of a Love Story
The End of a Love Story is one of Graham Greene's most famous and personal novels, set in wartime London during World War II. Told from the perspective of writer Maurice Bendrix, this moving and introspective story explores the boundaries of love, jealousy, faith and betrayal.
When a chance encounter with his former partner's ex-lover raises suspicions, Maurice begins an obsessive search for the truth - and discovers something far deeper than a simple love triangle. Through this novel, Greene asks questions about the existence of God, sacrifice, hatred that comes from love - and about the impossibility of ever fully understanding another human being.
The novel is both psychologically deep and emotionally restrained, typical of Greene's distinctive style that combines existential anxiety with British restraint.
