Am quite a fan of hers, I find her novels emotionally complex and riveting... anyone else read her stuff? |

I've read the sea, the sea and The Green Knight and Jackson's Dilema and her poetry volume. She is quite heavy but an absolutely superb writer. |

Hi Milly, I would love to discuss some of Murdoch's books with you as I do find them intriguing. Which ones have you read? |

I studied The Sea The Sea at university (MANY moons ago), but it wasn't my favourite book. I might enjoy it more now, I think. |

It's a bit heavy going vagabond and very involved, which is great if you like that kind of thing. (which I do) |

Isn't it quite philosophical? That may have been the problem for me. I was suffering through Moral Philosophy at the time, and it was nearly my undoing!! |

It is quite philosophical and the main character is immensely frustrating, but I didn't get the philosophical stuff until after I had finished it and was reflecting on why I got so into it, when the storyline itself seemed to be quite simplistic. |
