The Red and the Green by Iris Murdoch
As the Easter Rebellion looms, tension mounts in the rain-soaked streets of Dublin. Tension is also ratcheting up at home. Pat Dumay is a Catholic and an Irish patriot. His relentlessly pious mother pursues her own private war with his stepfather, a man sunk in religious speculation and drink. Meanwhile Pat's Protestant soldier cousin, Andrew Chase-White, puzzles out his complex emotions about Ireland and the girl he loves. Weaving between them moves Millie Kinnard: fast, feminist, and only just respectable.
Of all the novelists that have made their bow since the war she seems to me to be the most remarkable..behind her books one feels a power of intellect quite exceptional in a novelist * Sunday Times *
This is a comedy with that touch of ferocity about it which makes for excitement -- Elizabeth Jane Howard
