About this product

Product Information

A classic tale from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, of a family torn apart by the arrival of Ben, their feral fifth child. 'Listening to the laughter, the sounds of children playing, Harriet and David would reach for each other's hand, and smile, and breathe happiness.' Four children, a beautiful old house, the love of relatives and friends - Harriet and David Lovatt's life is a glorious hymn to domestic bliss and old-fashioned family values. But when their fifth child is born, a sickly and implacable shadow is cast over this tender idyll. Large and ugly, violent and uncontrollable, the infant Ben, 'full of cold dislike', tears at Harriet's breast. Struggling to care for her new-born child, faced with a darkness and a strange defiance she has never known before, Harriet is deeply afraid of what, exactly, she has brought into the world ...

Sad depressing book - no enlightenment or anything to cheer the human soul
I was obliged to buy this book as it is a set work for my student from France for her Baccalaureate English paper. I am no fan of Margaret Lessing. I think that this book is incredibly depressing, with a potentially tragic ending which the reader must devise from evidence given. The prose is painfully contrived with expressions and sentiments are excessive and pedantic. The characters likewise- all as we now say: 'over the top' - and certainly not very real to me. I sympathise with my poor student with this choice of set work. I can only assume that the BAC examiners like a socialist writer and thus chose this book. The amount I paid is perhaps the maximum for one use - I shall not want to re-read this book. It is certainly not great literature, and the examiners could have chosen from ...

It is certainly not great literature, and the examiners could have chosen from a wide range of English language 'greats', but sadly did not.
