Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Very impressive....Portrays modern woman in all her complexity.""-- Literary Horizons""I read the Children of Violence novels and began to understand how a person could write about the problems of the world in a compelling and beautiful way. And it seems to me that as the most important thing I could ever do."-- Barbara Kingsolver"A totally modern work. Martha Quest is, above all, ironically percieved by the author in whose hands irony is an instrument of compassion."-- "New Rupublic""One cannot praise the writing too highly...She plays on language as on an instrument with the severe discipline of a professional master."-- "Best Seller""With deceptive simplicity she reveals more about the private depths of mind and soul that perhaps one ought to know."-- "Daily Telegraph"

Reseña del editor:

An unconventional woman trapped in a conventional marriage, Martha Quest struggles to maintain her dignity and her sanity through the misunderstandings, frustrations, infidelities, and degrading violence of a failing marriage. Finally, she must make the heartbreaking choice of whether to sacrifice her child as she turns her back on marriage and security.

A Proper Marriage is the second novel in Doris Lessing's classic Children of Violence series of novels, each a masterpiece on its own right, and, taken together, an incisive and all-encompassing vision of our world in the twentieth century.
