The Book And The Brotherhood by Iris Murdoch
A tightly observed novel about an intellectual circle formed at Oxford whose bonds are strained when one member completes a provocative manuscript that exposes buried rivalries, obsessions and moral compromises. As friendships and loyalties fray, romantic entanglements, jealousy and questions of artistic responsibility force each character to confront self-deception, power and the limits of idealism, creating a darkly comic yet penetrating examination of conscience and human fallibility.
