Under a Blood Red Sky is a breathtaking epic novel - a tale of love, escape, revenge and redemption. At its heart is an intense love story.

Iris Murdoch`s first novel is set in a part of London where struggling writers rub shoulders with successful bookies, and film starlets with frantic philosophers. Its hero, Jake Donaghue, is a drifting, clever, likeable young man, who makes a living out of translation work and sponging off his friends.
