Set in London and in the South of France, this brilliantly structured novel centers on two women: Gertrude Openshaw, bereft from the recent death of her husband, yet awakening to passion; and Anne Cavidge, who has returned in doubt from many years in a nunnery, only to encounter her personal Christ. A fascinating array of men and women hover in urgent orbit around them: the "Count," a lonely Pole obsessively reliving his & eacutemigré father's patriotic anguish; Tim Reede, a seedy yet appealing artist, and Daisy, his mistress; the manipulative Mrs. Mount; and many other magically drawn characters moving between desire and obligation, guilt and joy. This edition of "Nuns and Soldiers" includes a new introduction by renowned religious historian Karen Armstrong.… (mere)

Another enthralling offering from IM. Too complex for a short review.

I once characterized the typical Iris Murdoch plot as A loves B, who is involved with C, who wants to give his/her life to a Great Ideal.

Well, that's symplistic, of course. But I love Murdoch nonetheless, even though reading all her novels in the space of a summer of romance (I being in love with A, who loved B, and so on) I did find myself making bets with myself as to which page the black dog would appear upon, and where the stones would figure. She's unique. You will love her or you will be wholly.. "what???" about her. (

Early on in Nuns and Soldiers, one character reminds another that it is their duty to resist despair. I actually was taken aback at that. Of all the reasons to resist despair somehow duty had never presented itself to me. And I'll tell you: it sounded good. There is something so appealing about that kind of simple moral authority. Unfortunately for our ability to gain consolation, but fortunately, I guess, for the quality of the novel, things don't remain so simple. (

I must have read this before, as I've read all of Murdoch's novels, but not this pristine copy. It's not one of her better-known novels although I wonder why this is, as I found it a really good read. I didn't remember much besides a few names, scenes and perhaps the "feel" of it, but there are some excellent and varied characters, well-done settings in London and rural France, and a decent plot; also a well described meditation on loss, love and marriage. Plenty of Murdochian themes and characters, but it also reminded me of Margaret Drabble or Doris Lessing, maybe a bit more "open" than some of her more claustrophobic works, and with delightful flashes of humour.

In terms of writing quality, "Nuns and Soldiers" is just as good as anything else Iris Murdoch has written. However, over the course of the book, I came to really despise the four main characters, not for their personalities but for the choices they made and the way they lived their lives. Despite this, there are a lot of very memorable scenes, the writing is superb, and the last twenty pages or so, where a few peripheral characters are brought to the fore, pretty much made up for my complaints (so much so that I wish Murdoch had written a five hundred page novel about them instead). So while, in terms of literary quality, "Nuns and Soldiers" ranks around a four and a half, my personal enjoyment of the book was greatly lessened by the unlikable characters. (

Citater

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.

Someone said to Tim, ‘You painters must feel as if you are creating the world’. Tim never felt like that. He felt at his best working moments, a sense of total relaxation. Of course he was not creating the world, he was discovering it, not even that, he was just seeing it and letting it continue to manifest itself. He was not even sure, at these good moments, whether what he was doing was ‘reproducing’. He was just there, active as a part of the world, a transparent part. Daisy, who hated music, had once said to denigrate that art, ‘Music is like chess, it’s all there beforehand, all you do is find it’. ‘Yes,’ said Tim. That was exactly what he felt about painting.
