A review by scc
A Fairly Honourable Defeat by Iris Murdoch

4.0

This was a slower read for me, I often find the first part of her books a bit of a chore but then the second half/ ending are brilliant.

A book full of self obsessed friends, all very dramatic - love affairs and big conversations. The ending completely took me by surprise. Audibly gasped!

Some dated language but otherwise very entertaining. I’d love to see it as a film.
