Ambientada en Londres y en el sur de Francia, esta novela de estructura brillante se centra en dos mujeres: Gertrude Openshaw, desconsolada por la reciente muerte de su marido, pero despertando a la pasión; y Anne Cavidge, que ha regresado dudosa de muchos años en un convento, solo para encontrarse con su Cristo personal. Una fascinante variedad de hombres y mujeres orbitan urgentemente a su alrededor: el "Conde", un solitario polaco que revive obsesivamente la angustia patriótica de su padre emigrado; Tim Reede, un artista sórdido pero atractivo, y Daisy, su amante; la manipuladora Sra. Mount; y muchos otros personajes mágicamente dibujados que se mueven entre el deseo y la obligación, la culpa y la alegría. Esta edición de Nuns and Soldiers incluye una nueva introducción de la reconocida historiadora religiosa Karen Armstrong.
Dame Jean Iris Murdoch was an Irish and British novelist and philosopher. Murdoch is best known for her novels about good and evil, sexual relationships, morality, and the power of the unconscious. Her first published novel, Under the Net (1954), was selected in 1998 as one of Modern Library's 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Her 1978 novel The Sea, The Sea won the Booker Prize. In 1987, she was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II for services to literature. In 2008, The Times ranked Murdoch twelfth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
