Synopsis
In the unfettered atmosphere of the late 1960s, a couple builds a life based on their belief in the superior value of tradition and normalcy. A large house, a large family, all the expected pleasantries convince them they can remain untouched by dark events--until the birth of their fifth child, a gruesome, insatiably hungry, violent child., A self-satisfied couple intent on raising a happy family is shocked by the birth of an abnormal and brutal fifth child.

    The Fifth Child

    Lessing's writing always keeps you interested, leaving questions to be answered and always has a great story to tell.

    Abuse or monster story?

    Very strange book. Tragic and kinda scary at the same time. Had the undertones of almost a monster story but the sadness of an abuse story.
