Description: " A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses a moment of experience from which to look ahead." " This is a record of hate far more than of love " writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of The End of the Affair and it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous affair with Sarah Miles. Now a year after Sarah's death Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of his passion by retracing its course from obsessive love to love - hate. At first he believes he hates Sarah and her husband Henry. Yet as he delves further into his emotional outlook Bendrix's hatred shifts to the God he feels has broken his life but whose existence at last comes to recognize. Originally published in 1951, The End of the Affair was acclaimed by William Faulkner as "for me one of the best most true and moving novels of my time in anybody's language."
