The End of the Affair...

Our group didn't discuss who would write this "review" but we did have an interesting discussion. Our conversations about books seem more robust when one or more of us doesn't care for a particular selection. Definitely the case this time. "The End of the Affair" left us unsatisfied. Unanimously disconnected. The characters felt flat and one-dimensional...leaving the reader without too much compassion for their situation. We talked about marriage, religion, adultery, obsession, hate, suffering and faith. Learning that Maurice's character was a glimpse into the character of Graham Greene, left me liking the book even less.
