Description
In the seemingly tranquil English spa town of Ennistone, the return of the celebrated philosopher John Robert Rozanov ignites a firestorm of obsession, morality, and hidden desires. As talk of murder and sin sweeps through the community, the residents find themselves entangled in a web of their own making, desperately seeking answers and redemption. Iris Murdoch masterfully weaves a darkly humorous narrative, exploring the complex, often contradictory, nature of the human condition with her signature blend of intricate characters and breakneck plotting. This novel delves into the profound interplay of comedy and tragedy that defines our lives, revealing more about the characters—and ourselves—than anyone anticipated.
