We have more books available by this author!. 248 pp. "The heroine of this powerful searching novel is a passionate and intelligent young woman whose ideals are totally at odds with the life she observes around her. The daughter of provincial parents Martha Quest has been raised in a small-minded town in Central Africa - a community where hypocrisy intolerance and mindless traditionalism prevail. The book which traces Martha from adolescence through an ill-conceived marriage depicts her abrasive relationships with her elders her contemporaries and society as a whole. Martha Quest is a true child of this century. Her personal conflicts mirror the convulsions and aspirations of our time: her successful rebellion her liberation and its tragic failures and finally her despair transmuted into a relentless determination to understand life.

20022275947Harper Collins 2002. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Second printing. Jacket spine base lightly bumped. 2002 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. 478 pp. "This story of a family spanning most of the twentieth century has its fulcrum in the Sixties that contradictory and embattled decade about which argument becomes louder each day. The youth of that time bursting old bonds and demanding freedoms were seen by some of their elders in a manner not at all as they saw themselves as romantic idealists but as deeply damaged people. Old Julia the clan's matriarch knows why. "You can't have two dreadful wars and then say 'That's it and now everything will go back to normal.' They're screwed up our children they are the children of war." Remarkable women Julia and Frances grandmother and mother fight for "the kids" against obstacles the worst being Comrade Johnny. Here is a memorable picture of a character only recently departed from our scene. "The revolution comes before personal matters" is his dictum as he deposits discarded wives and hurt children in the accommodating house whose emotional center is always the extendable kitchen table that essential prop of the Sixties around which the family sits through the evenings eating joking boasting about their shoplifting debating the violent ideologies of the time that take some of them out to the Third World another to a South African village dying of AIDS. This novel reflects our recent history like a many-faceted mirror and is full of people not easily forgotten each -- for worse or for better directly or indirectly -- made by war.
