About this book
In the Children of Violence Series, first published in the 1950s and 60s, Doris Lessing transformed her fascinating life into fiction, creating her most complex and compelling character, Martha Quest. The five novels follow Martha from her adolescence on a farm in Africa through failed marriages, radical political activities, high times in heady 1960s London, and into a frightening future.
