APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE FOR THE NOBEL
Nobel Prize-winner Doris Lessing's post-apocalyptic novel follows Mara and Dann, two orphans struggling to travel north and escape the drought that has created violent rival gangs throughout the southern atmosphere. For children who dream of cool water and kind people, Mara and Dann are constantly waylaid by the desires of other, leaving them to wonder... is the North as much of a dream as discovering their past? Marked by Lessing's deep understanding of the persecuted human's experience, this novel is unlikely to leave you untouched.
