Review
"Murdoch is at the height of her powers in this novel, combining a complex plot with a heartrending analysis of the meaning of love" (Good Book Guide)
"A source of wonder and delight...No summary can do justice to the rich intricacy of character and incident with which Miss Murdoch crowds every page" (Spectator)
"This is great Murdoch. It rings as clear as The Bell...her humour is all the more achingly funny because she keeps it on the edge of our vision" (Daily Mail)
"Iris Murdoch's marvellous, heroic novel...A gloriously rich tale" (The Times)
From the Publisher
It is witty and wise and provocative...brilliantly good' Evening Standard
