Something Special

More about the book

Previously unpublished – except in a 1950’s anthology and in Japan, and rediscovered after her death. It is the only short story that Iris Murdoch ever wrote for publication. Set in Dublin, in the late fifties, this is the story of Yvonne, a young Irish woman who believes there’s more to life than marriage to Sam, the respectable young man who’s courting her. The action moves to a surprising climax and conclusion – a strangely haunting story about the incompatibility of dreams and desires. <i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
