Combining fiction and memoir, the 2007 Nobel Prize-winning author delivers an intimate and poignant work that defies literary convention. In the fictional part, Lessing imagines the happier lives her parents might have led had there been no Great War. This is followed by a piercing examination of their relationship as it actually was in the shadow of the war, the family's move to Africa, and the impact of their strained union on their daughter, a young woman growing up in a strange land. With B&W photos throughout.
