Description
Doris Lessing's The Fifth Child tells the story of a family torn apart by the arrival of their fifth child, Ben. A sickly and violent infant, Ben casts a dark shadow over the loving home of Harriet and David Lovatt. As the family struggles to care for their new-born child, they are faced with a darkness and defiance that none of them have known before. The arrival of Ben brings an end to the idyllic domestic bliss that Harriet and David had built, leaving them to confront the unknown challenges of parenthood. With its exploration of love, family, and the complexities of human relationships, The Fifth Child is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the depths of motherhood and the consequences of bringing new life into the world.
