The End of the Affair

Review

I generally enjoy psychological novels, but this one felt too repetitive for my tastes. Mr Parkis was definitely the star of the story.

And yet he was happier in his unused room simply because it was his: his possession. I thought with bitterness and envy: if one possesses a thing securely, one need never use it.
