📖 The Scoop
"A sequel to one of Lessing's most celebrated novels, The Fifth Child. Many will recall the powerful impact The Fifth Child, Doris Lessing's 1988 novel, made on publication. Its account of idyllic marital and parental bliss irredeemably shattered by the arrival of the feral fifth child of the Lovatts made for unnerving and compulsive reading. That child, Ben, now grown to legal maturity, and is the central character of this sequel, which picks up the fable at the end of the childhood where the first book ended and takes our primal, misunderstood, maladjusted teenager out into the world... Review: 'A wonderful novel, flawless as a black pearl' Daily Mail 'Outstanding... A tour de force that poses stark questions about modern-day Britain and what it is to be human.' Sunday Times 'Ben, In the World is huge in scope, humanity and pathos. Lessing created a monster; her triumph is that he not only personifies the human yearning to belong, but that we also come to love him" Shena Mackay, Daily Telegraph.
Genre: Fiction / Psychological (fancy, right?)
