The Red and the Green
by Iris Murdoch
In this story of an Irish family during the tense days leading up to the doomed Easter Rising in Dublin, 1916, Iris Murdoch shaped her narrative with depth and relentless inevitability. Yet she did so without sacrificing the fun, the creative waywardness, that are her trademarks. Irish-born herself, Murdoch wrote with warm nostalgia and uncanny insight about Dublin and its beguiling and exasperating people. The enchanting Lady Millicent and the four very different men over whom she casts her spell are among Murdoch's most memorable characters; and there is more warmth and compassion here than in anything else she has written.
