The Unicorn

Iris Murdoch

Marian Taylor, employed as a companion to a lonely woman in a remote castle, becomes aware that the latter is a prisoner not only of her own obsessions, but of an unforgiving husband. Hannah, the Unicorn, seemingly an image of persecuted virtue, fascinates those who surround her, some of whom plan to rescue her from her dream of redemptive suffering. But is she an innocent victim, a guilty woman, a mad woman or a witch?

Chatto & Windus 1963
