The second book in the Nobel Prize for Literature winner's
'Children of Violence' series tracing the life of Martha Quest from
her childhood in colonial Africa to old age in post-nuclear
Britain. 'A Proper Marriage' sees twenty-something Martha beginning
to realise that her marriage has been a terrible mistake. Already
the first passionate flush of matrimony has begun to fade;
sensuality has become dulled by habit, blissful motherhood now
seems no more than a tiresome chore. Caught up in a maelstrom of a
world war she can no longer ignore, Martha's political
consciousness begins to dawn, and, seizing independence for the
first time, she chooses to make her life her own.
