A novel exposing the effects of vanity, lying, and fear in a situation where imperfect beings are related to each other by deep bonds. We watch Morgan as she returns to London, fleeing her relationship with Julius, to live with her sister and her nephew where the consequences of a wager recall Shakespearean comedy and Mozart's operas. Written by Irish Murdoch, an Irish and British novelist and philosopher best known for her novels about good and evil, morality, and the power of the unconscious. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear only. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound.
