What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this work. 

With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper. 

This intriguing novel acts as a domestic comedy with thriller elements incorporated, following a series of complex relationships among the residents and guests at the seaside country house.

It is the eleventh novel from acclaimed Irish writer and philosopher, Iris Murdoch, who was best known for her explorations of morality, relationships, and the power of the unconscious. 

There are additional supernatural elements throughout this novel, including a flying saucer sighting and a shapeshifting manservant who claims to be the son of a mermaid.
