About this Item

The Sequel to the Fifth Child, signed "Doris Lessing" to the title page, now in protected jacket. Ben Lovatt can never fit in. To those he meets, he seems awkward - too big, too strong, inhumanly made. His own mother locked him up; then, guilty, she liberated him. But her unyielding love for him corroded their family; the fifth child broke the home into bits. And now he is come of age, and again finds himself bewildered and alone. Most people fear him, some gentler people understand his needs and how hard he is trying to fit in. Mostly people make use of him and he finds himself in the south of France, in Brazil, and the Andes, where at last he finds out where he has come from, who are his people. Seller Inventory # 002475
