A review by duabulan_
The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch

5.0

Super long read but a very deep experience. I like the way Murdoch makes charles horrible, but I still can perceive him as simply human. He was still the despicable man, but life is life and one should be entitled to the consequences of one's own doing. The thing is, we read from charles' perspective, which is heavily unreliable. We never really know the true character beside charles, especially of Hartley and Ben. The only character beside Charles that I seem to have a clear grasp on is James.
