I always enjoy a Graham Greene book, and this one was no exception, although I have read better. Querry arrives at a leproserie in the Congo, wanting simply to be away from his old life. He's bored with life. The priests mostly let him get on with it, just being, but an expat (or "colon") discovers who he is - "the" Querry - and gets involved being a busybody. Poor Querry.
There is an underlying theme of belief and non-belief, and an interesting, if quite bizarre, ending.
