A tragi-comic masterpiece... A magnificent novel
Susan Hill, The Lady
Her novels evoked beautifully the atmosphere of the country gardens (The Bell, 1958) or the mysterious London streets (The Time of the Angels, 1968) in which they were set, with their characters engaged in intriguing love relationships, from the totally innocent to the wholly weird.
The Times
Iris Murdoch really knows how to write, can tell a story, delineate a character, catch an atmosphere with deadly accuracy
John Betjeman
Of all the novelists that have made their bow since the war she seems to me to be the most remarkable-behind her books one feels a power of intellect quite exceptional in a novelist
Sunday Times
A distinguished novelist of a rare kind
Kingsley Amis
