A review by cinnamoncharlotte
A Fairly Honourable Defeat by Iris Murdoch

reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

fascinating and brutal, but slow and occasionally difficult to get through. feels like watching a car crash in slow motion but no one can deny murdoch’s exceptional prose
