A Word Child by Iris Murdoch

"My favourite of Iris Murdoch's novels, perhaps because I found it easy to indentify with morose, cynical and victimised main character Hilary Burde; but also because the slow reveal of the reasons behind his disposition and the conflict between his attemps to atone and his apparent inability not to repeat past mistakes makes for a compelling read."
