I'm a Graham Greene fan in general and this book just confirms it. I really, really enjoyed this. I love the way Greene uses language. Also, this story is compelling and captivating. I recommend!

I don't know why more people haven't read this one. It's just as good as The End of the Affair, though very different. And it's a quick read too. I loved the first half.

Excellent exploration of words and meaning, most especially the power we apply to, or strip from, words.
