129. Iris Murdoch - The Sacred And Profane Love Machine

Haven’t read any for years and doubt I will again.

The plot is a man with wife and child and mistress and child, and his absurd oscillations between them and then various attempted rapprochements. Wife conveniently killed in a terrorist attack just before the end.

Various other over-privileged and silly characters take centre stage from time to time and we have to suffer their self-indulgent and tedious monologues.

Quite why anyone thought she was a good writer is beyond me.
