About this title

Review

"Iris Murdoch was one of the best and most influential writers of the twentieth century...she kept the traditional novel alive, and in doing so changed what it is capable of" (Guardian)

"The Time of the Angels is certainly her best; wittier, more lyrical, more deeply felt than ever before. She is an enchantress" (Sunday Times)

"I can think of few other novelists who could have written so superbly and so surely of the good and evil that encompasses us all" (Daily Telegraph)

Book Description

In this haunting novel that 'troubles our sleep' (Richard Holloway) seven characters circle the enigmatic and callous figure of Carel, a 'priest of no God'
