A review by nathansnook
The Sacred and Profane Love Machine by Iris Murdoch

funny lighthearted reflective tense

3.5

A hot train wreck of Freudian musings with the most hilariously tragic individuals trying to love each other, loving when they shouldn't, loving when they want it most, loving when they need it most.

Love is complicated.

Hurt people hurt people.

Nobody wins. Everybody loses.

Everybody wins. Nobody loses.

With rich prose that swells and dialogue that dances in humor and heart, Murdoch entertains with grand gestures that make for one helluva ride.
