None of Roma Lombard's high-society friends knew anything about the mystery man who was suddenly everywhere the wealthy heiress went.And that was exactly the way she wanted it – because her new "lover” was really her bodyguard, there to protect her from the killers who were stalking her….Ben McCabe said they had to keep up this deadly charade – by pretending to be married! The trouble was, the more time she spent with her devastatingly handsome protector – day after fear-wracked day, night after passion-filled night – the more she ached to make this "marriage” the real thing….

From Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the sequel to one of her most celebrated novels, ‘The Fifth Child’.‘The Fifth Child’, Doris Lessing’s 1988 novel, made a powerful impact on publication. Its account of idyllic marital and parental bliss shattered by the arrival of the feral fifth child of the Lovatts made for unnerving and compulsive reading.That child, Ben, is the central character of this sequel, which picks up the fable at the end of his childhood and takes our primal, misunderstood, maladjusted teenager out into the world. He meets mostly with mockery, fear and incomprehension, but with just enough kindness and openness to keep him afloat as his adventures take him from London to the south of France and on to South America in his restless quest for community, companionship and peace.Lessing employs a plain, unadorned prose fit for fables; again, we have a childlike perspective at the heart of the book; again, the world in all its malevolence and misapprehension swirls around at the edge, while, occasionally, a strong character steps forward to try to set a good example.
