Journal Entry 1 by Lisa-B on Sunday, December 14, 2003
"In her second novel, Iris Murdoch strikes a delicate balance between absurdity and tragedy, between realism and fantasy. In the opinion of many devotees, this is her most entrancing novel." from the back-cover.

The actual copy has a different cover, because it is a Penguin PB of 1975, though in a rather good condition.

I am offering it at CasualReader's bookrelay site.

I need much more time to read it than I thought. I have finished it only by curiosity. I disliked it a lot, but I can't explain why.
Perhaps my English is not as good to understand it right... I don't know

I'll send it to urpfi

It couldn't have been a better time for me to read this book. I finished last week Elegy for Iris and I really wanted to read one of her books. I have one book to read and then, I'll start this one. Thanks for BookManiac70 for including in me and for Beloved49 for mailing it to me.

Although I had never read one of Iris Murdoch's books before, I fell into her world at the first page. It was a slow, but magic reading. Even after a couple of days, I am still thinking about this book and I am definetely going to read more of her books.

Thanks Bookmaniac70 for sharing this great boook.
I will mail this book to Cisco next week.

Mailed today to Cisco.

Journal Entry 11 by cisco from El Granada, California USA on Wednesday, April 27, 2005
Received the book last weekend - thanks!

6/1/05 update - going to begin reading this one tonight - I'm afraid I'm a slow reader. I tend to fall asleep over even the most engaging stories after about 30 minutes...

7/11/05 update - finished this book. Although I appreciate Iris Murdoch's descriptive writing, I find the characters quite odd, and their choices questionable. I feel as though I should have a literature teacher assisting me, or some Cliff's notes to explain the metaphors or hidden meanings! LOL

Will forward to breezygirl67 next.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

RELEASE NOTES:

After reading Elegy for Iris, I wanted to read all Iris Murdoch's books. This is the first one I've tried, and I just couldn't get into it. I'll try some of her others, and try this again another time.
Will take to the Meetup tomorrow night. Thanks for sharing, Bookmaniac70!
