The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene

The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JAMES WOOD. Scobie, a police officer serving in a wartime West African state, is distrusted, being scrupulously honest and immune to bribery. But then he falls in love, and in doing so he is forced to betray everything he believes in, with drastic and tragic consequences.

Primarily a novel about the moral consequences of religious belief, but it is almost as importantly a novel about colonialism * Independent *
The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings -- VS. Pritchett * The Times *
Here is this man who can represent ordinary life, ordinary troubles, and make them exciting to read about -- Shirley Hazzard * Guardian *
