Iris Murdoch explores the fragility of relationships. Thirty years is plenty of time for friends to change their opinions. Not least of each other.

"Iris Murdoch is incapable of writing without fascinating and beautiful colour."  -  The Times

At a midsummer ball at Oxford a close-knit group of men and women - friends since university days - have gathered to dance under the stars. Years ago, they had clubbed together to finance one of their numbers to write a political and philosophical book. On this summer evening, events at the ball spark a crisis, and by the night’s end, the vindictive ghosts of the past have effectively invaded the present.

"Ms Murdoch’s principal characters, bound together by friendships formed in undergraduate days at Oxford, are middle-aged, intelligent, well placed, and have no clear reason for suffering. They nevertheless torment themselves and each other with suspicions, guilts, infidelities, and interminable twittering introspections... Ms Murdoch has treated the reader to a soap opera with philosophical trimmings. Like all proper soap operas, it does not lack action."   -   Phoebe-Lou Adams, The Atlantic

Iris Murdoch made her writing debut with Under the Net in 1954. Her 26 novels include the Booker prize-winning The Sea, The Sea (1978), the James Tait Black Memorial prize-winning The Black Prince (1973) and the Whitbread prize-winning The Sacred and Profane Love Machine (1974). Iris Murdoch had a number of other novels on the long and shortlists for the Booker Prize over the years, including A Fairly Honourable Defeat which was longlisted for The Lost Man Booker Prize.
