The End of the Affair by Graham Greene
4.0
Ranking of Books I Accidentally Read Because I Didn't Know Everything Was About God:
1. [b:The Brothers Karamazov|4934|The Brothers Karamazov|Fyodor Dostoevsky|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1427728126l/4934._SX50_.jpg|3393910]
2. [b:Gilead|68210|Gilead (Gilead, #1)|Marilynne Robinson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1558681761l/68210._SY75_.jpg|2481792]
3. [b:The Name of the Rose|119073|The Name of the Rose|Umberto Eco|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1415375471l/119073._SY75_.jpg|3138328]
4. The End of the Affair (this book)
5. [b:Watership Down|76620|Watership Down (Watership Down, #1)|Richard Adams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405136931l/76620._SY75_.jpg|1357456]
Source: the Jewish valedictorian of strict Catholic elementary-, middle-, and high-schools. (Me. For what it's worth, I'm not particularly a fan of works of Jewish faith, either. I don't discriminate.)
Anyway, IDK. It wasn't my favorite, but it also seems like he's a great writer. Some of the best professional commentary I could find online was written by a literal Catholic priest, so there's that.
I'm planning on reading [b:The Power and the Glory|3690|The Power and the Glory|Graham Greene|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388210459l/3690._SY75_.jpg|1036817] and/or [b:The Heart of the Matter|3692|The Heart of the Matter|Graham Greene|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385263150l/3692._SY75_.jpg|3266950], so stay tuned for an updated list.
