Martha Quest
New York HarperPerennial; ModernClassics 2001 006095969X / 9780060959692 Reprint, 2007 Trade Paperback Very Good
327 pp.; 21 cm. First published, 1952. Near fine. Tight, clean text. Foreedge lightly soiled. "Intelligent, sensitive, and fiercely passionate, Martha Quest is a young woman living on a farm in Africa, feeling her way through the torments of adolescence and early womanhood. She is a romantic idealistic in revolt against the puritan snobbery of her parents, trying to live to the full with every nerve, emotion, and instinct laid bare to experience. For her, this is a time of solitary reading daydreams, dancing -- and the first disturbing encounters with sex. The first of Doris Lessing's timeless Children of Violence novels, Martha Quest is an endearing masterpiece. / Winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature, Doris Lessing is one of the most celebrated and distinguished writers of our time, the recipient of a host of international awards including the David Cohen Memorial Prize for British Literature, Spain's Prince of Asturias Prize and Prix Catalunya, and the S.

The Grandmothers: Four Short Novels
New York Perennial; HarperCollins 2005 0060530111 / 9780060530112 Trade Paperback Very Good
311 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "With the four short novels in this collection, Doris Lessing once again proves that she is unrivalled in her ability to capture the truth of the human condition. The Grandmothers: Two women, close friends, fall in love with each other's teenage sons, and these passions last for years, until the women end them, promising a respectable old age. Victoria and the Staveneys: A poor black girl has a baby with the son of a liberal middle-class family and finds that her little girl is slowly being absorbed into the world of white privilege and becoming estranged from her. The Reason for It: Certain to appeal to fans of Shikasta and Memoirs of a Survivor, it describes the birth, flourishing, and decline of a culture long, long ago, but with many modern echoes. A Love Child: A soldier in World War II, during the dangerous voyage to India around the Cape, falls in love on shore leave and remains convinced that a love child resulted from the wartime romance." - Publisher.
