Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror storycentered on the birth of a baby who seems less than humanprobes society's unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world outsideuntil the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him, David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign world. Harriet and David Lovatt face a frightening dilemma: how to love a monstrosity they have brought into the world--hideous in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and brutal. A horror story comparable to Rosemary's Baby by the internationally acclaimed author. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
