Description
Iris Murdoch and John Bayley were inseparable for over forty years. She was one of Britain's most distinguished authors, he a respected Oxford professor.
This moving yet unsentimental memoir chronicles their life together in the heady atmosphere of academia, her immense achievements as a writer and her eventual tragic decline after succumbing to Alzheimer's Disease. Written with a simplicity and poignancy that will touch everyone, this is the story of an extraordinary marriage, in the ordinary words of a true friend and husband.
