Description
Iris Murdoch’s 'The Sandcastle' (1957) follows Bill Mor, a married schoolmaster with political ambitions, whose settled life is disrupted when he meets Rain Carter, a young artist commissioned to paint a portrait of his former headmaster. As Bill falls in love with Rain, he finds himself torn between the possibility of a new life and his responsibilities towards his wife, Nan, and their children. Through this conflict, Murdoch explores love, loyalty, selfishness, family tensions and the difficulty of making moral choices. Combining psychological insight with subtle humour, the novel examines the consequences of desire and the price of pursuing personal happiness.
