Who would be the first to break? Well of course the answer is clear, if I was going to complete my quest to read all the Booker Prize winners then the battle of wills between myself and Iris Murdoch would have to come to an end. I glared back. It was a feat of endurance. The Sea, The Sea glared at me from my bookshelf for five years. ![]()
