Children of Violence #1

Abstract

Intelligent, sensitive, and fiercely passionate, Martha Quest is a young woman living on a farm in Africa, feeling her way through the torments of adolescence and early womanhood. She is a romantic idealistic in revolt against the puritan snobbery of her parents, trying to live to the full with every nerve, emotion, and instinct laid bare to experience. For her, this is a time of solitary reading daydreams, dancing -- and the first disturbing encounters with sex. The first of Doris Lessing's timeless Children of Violence novels, Martha Quest is an endearing masterpiece.

Description

Descriptif : Romain
Résumé : Il y a beaucoup de descriptions notables de garçons et de jeunes hommes adolescents dans notre fiction. Il y a très peu de jeunes femmes, dans le même sens profond et radical, de jeunes femmes. L'étude de Martha Quest par Mme Lessing en fait partie.
