In this profoundly moving book, Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing
explores the lives of her parents, each irrevocably damaged by the
Great War. In the fictional first half of Alfred and Emily, she
imagines the happier lives her parents might have made for
themselves had there been no war. This is followed by a piercing
examination of their relationship as it actually was in the shadow
of the devastating global conflict.
"Here I still am," says Lessing, "trying to get out from under
that monstrous legacy, trying to get free." Triumphantly, with
Alfred and Emily, she has done just that.
