This review is from: The Flight from the Enchanter (Kindle Edition)
I love Iris Murdoch! I can't believe no one has reviewed this book. It's a pretty easy read and a good introduction to her work. The usual academic/related characters of semi-upper class Brits with the odd Europeans thrown in (like those scary Polish guys and the eccentric dressmaker. As usual the plot is irrelevant it's the characters that draw you in. It's about passion, old love, absurd love, odd parents, adult siblings oddly entwined, eccentric old ladies, beautiful gardens ripped up by owners....Anyway if you've never read her give her a try. She is a most amazing writer and also quite amusing in an unexpected way. A reviewer of one of her other novels said "Iris I miss you." And so do I.
