The End of the Affair
Graham GreeneMartyn Waites@SJ_Watson @AnnBloxwich If not, I'd probably say The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene. Or The End of the Affair. I'd also have The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon which I love. A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. And MR James' ghost stories.
