'Of the novelists who have made their bow since the war she seems to me to be the most remarkable' Raymond MortimerMontague Small, an obsessive writer of detective thrillers, mourns his lately dead wife. His attempts at meditation are a failure. He detests his fictional detective. His interest in his neighbour's difficulties and his neighbour's wife appear to be his only consolations. The neighbour, Blaise Gavender, is an amateur psychotherapist. Has he the courage to change his life and become an honest man? What is honesty in any case? Blaise's wife Harriet lives for love, love of her husband, love of her son. She is fond of Monty too. This is a story of different loves; and of how a man may need two women in such a way that he can be happy with neither. Sacred and profane love are related opposites; the one enjoyed rendered the other necessary, so that the ever unsatisfied heart swings constantly too and fro.'Iris Murdoch was one of the best and most influential writers of the twentieth century' Peter Conradi, Guardian
