Set in a rain-soaked London, Iris Murdoch weaves together the tangled relationships of Bruno's estranged son Miles, his two wives, and the web of love, jealousy, and desire that binds them all. With her trademark philosophical depth and sharp moral intelligence, Murdoch presents a meditation on mortality, human connection, and the strange persistence of longing. The novel unfolds with both tenderness and dark irony, illustrating how the living are haunted by the past even as they stumble toward uncertain futures. Bruno's Dream stands as one of Murdoch's most emotionally resonant works, confirming her reputation as one of the twentieth century's great novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956250980571,"sku":"2026100008410-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/735124ae-ef7c-4680-bfd4-d7e387c46856.png?v=1783499249","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008410-secondhand-brunos-dream","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
