    <body><![CDATA[Please read the small pocketbook paperback edition with rounded corners. Lots of turned screws and gothic castle-y places. This was my first Iris Murdoch book. I would lose my Murdoch-virginity to this book again, if I had to do it all over again. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about this book? Why?]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd seen this book on our shelf for a couple of years now (Tim must have picked it up at a library book sale), and finally picked it up a week ago.  I was surprised at how quickly I engaged with the story, and its surprisingly dark twists on the Gothic novel.  A good read, as it were.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Murdoch book. A goody. Very gothic. All the neighbors are obsessed with this woman that's locked in this house, that's like a castle in some god-forsaken part of the UK (is there a part of the UK like this?). I won't say the end but it's not pretty. <br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first (and so far, only) Murdoch novel. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist after the happy ending, which I since learned is basically Murdoch's central philosophy. Well done, applying your philosophy in an amusing, rather than stern, way. ]]></body>
