I'm somewhat relieved to see you feel this wasn't her strongest work. I'm slowly getting acquainted with Murdoch and this was only the second novel of hers i^ve read. I nmjoyed it for many reasons but I did think it got a bit messy and dragged a teensy bit. I look forward to reading a lot more of her because I am continually impressed with the details, the way she breaks her characters down and pushes them in interesting philosophical/moral directions.verbivorehttp://incurablelogophilia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-8726072116726742522009-09-03T07:01:39.683-04:002009-09-03T07:01:39.683-04:00Smriti & ds - Thanks a lot for your comments (...Smriti & ds - Thanks a lot for your comments (and praise).
