The Sea, The Sea

Iris Murdoch

Charles Arrowby is a theater director, playwright and an actor. He is a popular figure of the London theatre who retires and goes to live in a house by the sea in a hope of writing his memoir. While he is at it, we meet the real Charles Arrowby. We realise, just like a sea, deep down he is not what he appears to be from the outside. I enjoyed reading this more than any other Murdoch books that I have read so far. Clearly, it’s my favourite Murdoch book.
