Reviews

Green's greatest classic. His books have serious subject matter but still very thrilling books to read. They are fascinating, carried with philosophical and religious ideas. –Amy, The Book Grocer 'The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings' V. S. Pritchett, The Times 'A superb storyteller with a gift for provoking controversy' New York Times 'Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature' John le Carre
