Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bruno's dream
Iris Murdoch has the ability to capture human relationships in a literary form that is absorbing and garrulous. Bruno is very old and dying. He is an amateur spider expert trapped in his bed and possessed with an obsession for his box of stamps. The various characters that inhabit his life are caught up in a bizzare web of unrequited love, jealousy, mysticism, and secret desires. And all this set against a 1960s backdrop that still captures the bleak echo of post war London. The flint lock pistol duel in the pouring rain on the muddy banks of the Thames is Iris at her very best. Another stunning novel from one of this country's greatest writers.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice and humorous
Although the events seem to start around an ill and old man, they are not so stunned at all. Surprises and typical human reactions, like love and hatred, or hesitation and letting everything go the way it is, or trying to be in control, or the choice between observing life and being a participant in it,etc. all present in this book. One should read it and try to capture the free will in life, if there is free will at all
