The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch, Mary Kinzie
4.0

I really enjoyed this book, I distrusted the main character and narrator of this novel, written in the style of a memoir. Immediately I found him to be an unreliable and egotistic, which makes for a fascinating read. This book involves death, insanity and possessiveness masquerading as love. The book was long and my hold lapsed when I was about halfway through, though I was able to pick it back up rather easily. Though most of the book is rooted in a reality, there are delusions which feel like a comic farce. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I look forward to reading more.
