"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.
