Chatto & Windus Ltd, London, first edition, 1995. Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm,. [2], 249 pp. From the blurb: "Edward Lannion, the young master of Hatting Hall, is about to marry Marian Berran. At Penndean nearby, preparations are underway for the wedding, overseen by an anxious Benet. Family and friends gather, the night is warm and clear, the wedding guests wander in the grounds and under the stars. Then occurs a most remarkable event. Iris Murdoch's new novel is a fast-moving drama with a rich cast of characters: Owen, the eccentric painter; Mildred, the Holy Woman; Tuan, the mystery boy; Rosalind, Marian's younger sister, and not least, with his own secret thoughts, Edward Lannion himself. These friends and lovers are forced to make new and surprising choices. And Jackson, an enigmatic figure watching over them all, has to make his own obscure and agonising decisions.
