A sequel to one of Lessing’s most celebrated novels, ‘The Fifth Child’. Many will recall the powerful impact ‘The Fifth Child’, Doris Lessing’s 1988 novel, made on publication. Its account of idyllic marital and parental bliss irredeemably shattered by the arrival of the feral fifth child of the Lovatts made for unnerving and compulsive reading.

Professor Adam Krug, the country`s foremost philosopher, offers the only hope of resistance to Paduk, dictator and leader of the Party of the Average Man.
