Praise for Iris Murdoch

"[Murdoch is] prodigiously inventive." --The New York Times

"One of the most significant novelists of her generation." --The Guardian

Reseña del editor

A family struggles for redemption after a funeral brings dark secrets to the surface in this novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea, The Sea.

The funeral of Edward's mother brings him home for the first time in years. Though his return rekindles his affection for his childhood home, it also triggers a resurgence of the family tensions that caused him to leave in the first place. As Edward becomes tangled in his family's web of corrosive secrets, his homecoming tips a precariously balanced dynamic into sudden chaos. The Italian Girl is Murdoch's compelling story of a man's reunion with his estranged family, and of the tragedy that shocks them all into confronting their dark past.
