One of the greatest love stories in modern fiction. Second perhaps only to Nabokov's "Lolita." Not for the squeamish though -- the speaker informs the reader at the outset of the story that it is one of hate, not love, which, of course, is the best angle from which to approach a deeper unserstanding of love. Greene's finest work, in my opinion.
