These four short works include VICTORIA AND THE STAVENEYS (which contrasts the life of a young black woman with that of a wealthy family of whites), THE REASON FOR IT (a spinoff from Lessing's sci-fi oeuvre), A LOVE CHILD (about the brief love affair between an English soldier in World War II and an unhappily married South African woman), and the title story (about two women and their sons, and the highly unorthodox relationships among the four).
