To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
This was not an easy read but wow what a beautiful one!
It is complicated by an interweaving of narrative and personal reflection and as a result it is difficult to discern who is thinking what and which thoughts are the result of whom.

The Heart Of The Matter by Graham Greene
I really enjoyed this novel. It is a powerful, thought provoking and deeply profound novel about love and catholic guilt set amongst British colonial settlers in West Africa during the Second World War.
It is a tragedy where Major Scobie, a 50-year-old Deputy Commissioner, is
passed over for promotion and so becomes forced to borrow money to send his despairing wife away. In her absence he falls in love with Helen, a young widow, and his life is transformed by the experience.However, it does not have a happy ending.
