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.
