Save:Opening with the breathless engagement of an American draft dodger and his rather shallow British girlfriend, the narrative soon introduces a host of other characters that make up their circle, most notably Austin Gibson Grey, with his skeletons in the closet, an estranged wife, and various nefarious activities.

Save:A nuanced, psychologically rich novel brimming with complex characters and tangled relationships, but its leisurely pace and ambiguous ending aren’t for everyone.
When widower, Hugh, espies his ex-lover, Emma, at his wife's funeral, he is determined to make contact again with her. Hugh ended his relationship with Emma many years ago, leaving a heartbroken Emma behind him, something he now regrets doing. Emma, a writer, is not so easy to pin down; however, she is now sharing her London flat with the beautiful Lindsay, who works as her secretary and companion, and both women are weaving a web around Hugh's son, the handsome and heavy-drinking Randall. Unhappily married to the down-to-earth, dependable Ann and father to Miranda, a girl in her early teens who still plays with dolls, Randall yearns to escape and take the lovely Lindsay with him but, through lack of money, is unable to do so. The plot seemed a little all over the place, but the emotional wisdom and aliveness of the characters were tremendous. The book contains many fascinating, deep character studies, but Murdoch maintains a light touch throughout.
The book explores a rather convoluted story of love and misguided love, of social niceties and nastiness, of morals and the lack of them, and more. Few of the characters in this story are hugely likable, and even fewer of them appear to be happy. Some of them take happiness where they think they can find it, such as Randall and Lindsay; others try to do the 'right thing', such as Felix and Ann. Miranda, whose outward appearance suggests her to be an immature young girl, is actually more calculating than initially thought. The writing is gorgeously wrought, and the characters are developed in such a manner as to pull the reader in with both sympathy and ironic humor over their many lovelorn predicaments.
