The Red and the Green is a powerful historical novel set against the backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. Iris Murdoch weaves a complex and deeply human story of political conflict, family loyalties, and personal identity, exploring the tensions between the British and Irish, Protestants and Catholics, and idealism and pragmatism.

The novel follows the intertwining lives of Anglo-Irish family members caught in the turmoil of the rebellion. As political loyalties clash with personal desires, Murdoch presents a deeply psychological exploration of love, duty, and betrayal. Through her richly drawn characters, she examines the complexities of national identity and the moral ambiguities of war and revolution.
