Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Far from resting on her laurels, Lessing goes from strength to strength. Ben's half-human ignorance, paranoia, and rage are magnificently imagined and vividly present on every page. The condition of the outsider has hardly ever before in fiction been portrayed with such raw power and righteous anger. Few, if any, living writers can have explored so many forbidding fictional worlds with such passion and conviction. -- Kirkus ReviewsThe poignant and tragic sequel to Doris Lessing's bestselling novel, THE FIFTH CHILD.At eighteen, Ben is in the world, but not of it.
