WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MONICA ALI

The love affair between Maurice Bendix and Sarah, flourishing in the turbulent times of the London Blitz, ends when she suddenly and without explanation breaks it off. After a chance meeting rekindles his love and jealousy two years later, Bendix hires a private detective to follow Sarah, and slowly his love for her turns into an obsession.

What the critics say

Devastating study of the collision of different kinds of faith, betrayal and commitment
- The Times

In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety
-

One of the most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language
-

Greene's novel of illicit love captures perfectly the atmosphere of rainy wartime London - try to read this in one sitting if you can.
- Express

This novel had a great effect on my life...This is not a sentimental book, or one full of the kindness of God, in that both the man and the woman suffer the pain of loss and feel the heat of hell. This novel persuaded me to become a Catholic.
- Guardian

One of our greatest authors-For experience of a whole century he was the man within
- Independent

No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene
- Time

a deliciously uncomfortable read for anyone who's allowed their heart to rule their head
- Psychologies

Passionate, powerful and complex
- Daily Express
