Doris May Lessing

Tanja Slavnić

The Lovatts fill their lives with children. Relatives crowd round the kitchen table at Christmas and Easter, enjoying the warmth of the Lovatt's home. With the fifth pregnancy things begin to sour. The baby moves inside Harriet too early, too violently. After a difficult birth, he develops faster and grows much bigger than ordinary infants; he is unloving and instinctively disliked by his brothers and sisters. Inexorably, his alien presence wrecks the dream of their happy family. Harriet's fear grows as she struggles to love and care for the child, finding herself faced with a dark sub-continent of human nature, unable to cope.
