19702296348Plume 1970. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Minor general wear pages lightly toned. 1970 Trade Paperback. 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.
