Summary
Time flies when you're having fun (is not the lesson of this book). We are plowing our way through The End of the Affair and the end of the book is near. This week Tim is away (at sea, we think), so Heidi and David chatted about Sarah's death, Henry's invitation to Maurice, Maurice's hatred of God, and the way the book's writing shifts a bit during this section.

| 0:12.3 | trustworthy guide, then Karen Swallow Pryor, and her new series with B&H Publishing Group might be a great |
| 0:18.7 | option for you. In that series, she navigates through the |

| 1:05.7 | So, uh, Heidi and I are holding down the fort. |
| 1:09.2 | So we are here to discuss Graham Green's The End of the Affair, |
| 1:12.6 | and we have two more episodes left plus the Q&A. So this week we're going to discuss Book |
| 1:17.1 | four plus the first three chapters of Book 5. Book 4 is very short. So we combined it with |
