En 'El Castillo de Arena', Iris Murdoch nos presenta la tranquila vida del maestro de escuela Bill Mor y su esposa Nan, que se ve perturbada con la llegada de Rain Carter, una joven que llega a la escuela para pintar el retrato del director. Mor, con aspiraciones políticas, se da cuenta de nuevos deseos. Se desarrolla una compleja batalla que involucra amor, culpa, magia, arte y ambición política. Los hijos adolescentes de Mor y su madre luchan discretamente y sin piedad contra la invasora. El Jefe, él mismo desencantado, aconseja a Mor que tome a la chica y huya. La decisión final recae en Rain. ¿Se puede comprar un 'gran amor' a un precio demasiado alto?
