I rather like this book, though it's darker than most of Murdoch's writings. ( )

The London fog seems to suffuse this novel, shroud its characters. And the charactes do seem, for the most part, in the dark. A novel about loss of faith. And, I think, about for what life is worth living. Not one of her better novels, but still interesting. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 014002848X, Paperback)

Carel is rector of a City church that was destroyed in the war. In the rectory live his daughter Muriel, his beautiful invalid ward Elizabeth, and their West Indian servant Patti. Here too are Eugene, a Russian emigre, and his delinquent son Leo. Carel’s brother Marcus tries to make contact with Carel but is constantly rebuffed. These seven characters go through a dance of attraction and repulsion, misunderstanding and revelation with the enigmatic Carel at the centre – a priest who believes that God being dead, His Angels are released.
