    Att läsa Iris Murdoch på originalspråket är en större upplevelse - även om den svenska översättningen är bra! A fairly..... är en av Murdochs bästa, hennes sätt att berätta om och framställa personerna i handlingen är suverän, man blir delaktig i denna personkrets, hennes språk är så underbart, intelligent humor och sarkasmer i en elegant blandning..... läs den! En bok man aldrig glömmer!
