Rent Martha Quest

Synopsis

The first in Lessings' Children of Violence series, MARTHA QUEST introduces Martha at age 15, chafing at the restraints of her bourgeois home and domineering mother. As soon as she is able, Martha leaves her rural home for the city, where she joins a political left-wing group, has her first sexual experience, and meets and marries her husband. In this, as in the other Children of Violence books, there are many autobiographical parallels to Lessings' own life.
