Review:

"Iris Murdoch is incapable of writing without fascinating and beautiful colour" (The Times)

"Iris Murdoch was one of the best and most influential writers of the twentieth century" (Guardian)

"Irish Murdoch's most versitile novel, and chief among them is the pleasure which the authors take in her characters" (Country Life)

"Just as Jane Austen defines moral categories like "sense" and "sensibility" in her novels, so Iris Murdoch creates new constellations of meaning around those stand-bys of ordinary language, the nice and the good" (Atlantic)

Book Description:

Iris Murdoch really knows how to write, can tell a story, delineate a character, catch an atmosphere with deadly accuracy
John Betjeman
