She named her six best books for the Daily Express. One title on the list:
HEART OF THE MATTERRead about another book on Drinkwater's list.
by Graham Greene
This is set in Africa and Greene’s sense of location is excellent. The character’s marital crisis and the breakdown of a man at war with his emotions, physical sensuality and catholic conscience were elements which touched me. They’re issues Greene focuses on a good deal in his books.
The Heart of the Matter appears on Jeff Gordinier's list of Five Books That Will Make You Question the Wisdom of Ever Falling in Love — Probably While You Throw Yourself Headlong into It Anyway.
