Description
In this story of an Irish family during the seven or eight tense days leading up to the doomed Easter Rising in Dublin, 1916, Iris Murdoch attains new stature as a novelist. She has shaped her narrative in the great tradition of the novel, developing it in depth and with relentless inevitability. But she has managed to do so without sacrificing the fun, the creative waywardness, that have marked all her novels since Under the Net eleven years ago.
