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

4.0

I usually find it difficult to enjoy a book where I hate every single one of the characters, but in this case that seems to be the point. Charles' self-centred worldview is so complete as to be laughable, and all of the other characters seem almost as much like caricatures. Of all of them I disliked Hartley the most, and I cringed ever time she spoke, but again I know that was the point. The audiobook narration by Richard Grant was incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone.
