Сам по себе человек — ничто. Только его любовь к кому-то имеет смысл. Эту простую истину предстоит понять Бруно и его близким. Через переживание бурных страстей, ревности и ненависти они находят путь к великому чуду любви. В романе Айрис Мердок "Сон Бруно" превосходно сочетаются интеллектуальное развлечение и великие традиции классической литературы.

Bruno, dying, obsessed with spiders and preoccupied with death and reconciliation, lies at the center of an intricate spider's web of relationships and passions: Bruno's estranged and grieving son Miles; Danby, Bruno's widowed son-in-law, consoling himself with the Adelaide the maid, one of Murdoch's finest comic creations; creepy Nigel the nurse and his besotted twin Will, fighter of duels. The flooding Thames brings about the climax, and all are left changed by love and forgiveness before the old man's death.
