Octavo softcover (VG+); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book will reduce your overall postage costs.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Buen estado de conservación. It's the morning of the sixties and it's suppertime at Freedom Hall, a household in North London. Frances Lennox stands at her stove, bringing another feast to readiness before ladling it out to the motley, youthful crew assembled around her hospitable table. Around them are ranged their schoolfriends and girlfriends and ex-friends and new friends fresh off the street. The feast begins. Everything is being changed and being challenged. And here in this kitchen, the nutritious tolerance can be sniffed. Over there in the corner is Frances' ex-husband, Comrade Johnny, who delivers his rousing tirades, then laps up the adolescent adulation while he laps up his soup, before disappearing into the night to evade the clutches of his responsibilities. Upstairs sits Johnny's exiled mother, funding all, but finding she can embrace only one lost little girl. And will the Africans tolerate? These are the people dreaming the Sixties into being and the people who on the morning after all that dreaming, woke to find they were the ones taxed with clearing up and making good.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 479 pages. A novel. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. This story of a family, spanning most of the twentieth century, has its fulcrum in the Sixties, that contradictory and embattled decade about which argument becomes louder each day. The youth of that time, bursting old bonds and demanding freedoms, were seen by some of their elders in a manner not at all as they saw themselves, as romantic idealists, but as deeply damaged people. Old Julia, the clan's matriarch, knows why. "You can't have two dreadful wars and then say 'That's it, and now everything will go back to normal.' They're screwed up, our children, they are the children of war." Remarkable women, Julia and Frances, grandmother and mother, fight for "the kids" against obstacles, the worst being Comrade Johnny. Here is a memorable picture of a character only recently departed from our scene. "The revolution comes before personal matters" is his dictum, as he deposits discarded wives and hurt children in the accommodating house whose emotional center is always the extendable kitchen table, that essential prop of the Sixties, around which the family sits through the evenings, eating, joking, boasting about their shoplifting, debating the violent ideologies of the time that take some of them out to the Third World, another to a South African village dying of AIDS. This novel reflects our recent history like a many-faceted mirror, and is full of people not easily forgotten, each -- for worse or for better, directly or indirectly -- made by war.

London, Flamingo, 2001, 1st ed., (10),478,(1) pag., hardcover with dustjacket (as new). = Nobel Prize for Literature winner Doris Lessing tackles the 1960s and their legacy head-on in one of her most involving, personal, political novels. It's the morning of the 1960s and it's suppertime at Freedom Hall, the most welcoming household in north London. Frances Lennox stands at her stove, preparing another feast before ladling it out to the youthful crew assembled around her hospitable table - here are her two sons, smarting at their upbringing but beginning to absorb their mother's lessons. Around them are ranged their schoolfriends and girlfriends and ex-friends and new friends fresh off the street. The feast begins. Wine and talk flow. Everything is being changed and being challenged. But what is being tolerated? And where will it end? Over there in the corner is Frances's ex-husband, Comrade Johnny, who delivers his rousing tirades, then laps up the adolescent adulation before disappearing into the night to evade the clutches of his responsibilities. Upstairs sits Johnny's exiled mother, funding all, but finding she can embrace only one lost little girl - Sylvia, who has to travel to Africa, to newly independent Zimlia, to find out who she is and what she wants. And what of the Africans, what will they tolerate? These are the people dreaming the 1960s into being, and the people who, on the morning after all that dreaming, woke to find they were the ones who had to clear up and make good.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. London: Flamingo, 2001. First Edition. A fine copy bound in dark green cloth with silver spine lettering in a fine, pictorial dustwrapper, both book and jacket are pristine. The Nobel Prize winner sets this novel in London and the fictional nation of Zimlia, a thinly veiled reference to Zimbabwe, beginning in the 1960s and leading up to the 1980's. At its heart it Frances, a sort of Earth Mother who manages to Frances manages to provide shelter and succor to her sons' girlfriends, her ex-husband's crazy ex-wife and his anorexic stepdaughter, her lover's crazy ex-wife and their two children, various of her sons' school friends, assorted runaways, a couple of African children brought to England by the stepdaughter (who then dies), and, at the end, the unreconstructed ex-husband himself, who lives in the basement and drinks toasts to the memory of Joseph Stalin. A busy life, you might say, and a convincing picture of the Sixties and beyond. The critics loved this book. Lessing has signed this copy on the title page. Signed by Author(s).
