Era(s): 1940s
Set in London during and just after World War II, Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair is a pathos-laden examination of a three-way collision between love of self, love of another and love of God. The affair in question involves Maurice Bendrix, a solipsistic novelist, and a dutifully married woman, Sarah Miles. The lovers meet at a party thrown by Sarah’s dreary civil-servant husband, and proceed to liberate each other from boredom and routine unhappiness. However during one tryst Bendris goes into the basement to look for intruders and a bomb falls on the house.
