What is The End of the Affair (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) about?

<p>"This is a record of hate far more than of love," writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of <b>The End of the Affair</b>, and it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous affair with Sarah Miles—a hate bred of&nbsp;a passion that ultimately lost out to God.</p> <p>Now, a year after&nbsp;Sarah's death, Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of passion by retracing its course from obsessive love to love-hate. At the start he believes he hates Sarah and her husband,&nbsp;Henry. By the end of the book, Bendrix's hatred has shifted to the God he feels has broken his life but whose existence he has at last come to recognize.</p> <p>Originally published in 1951, <b>The End of the Affair</b> was acclaimed by William Faulkner as "for me&nbsp;one of the&nbsp;best, most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language."&nbsp;</p>
