About This Novel
The birth of the fifth child, Ben, shattered the dream of happiness for a middle-class British family. The premature and ugly Ben was born with brute force, extremely aggressive, and even bloodthirsty. The unbearable father sent Ban to the so-called "sanatorium", where he was imprisoned and treated inhumanely. The mother, who blamed herself and was uneasy, took "poor class" home again, causing the family to become turbulent again after a brief period of peace. Through how a normal family treats unusual children, Lessing explains the nature of evil and cruelly reveals the complex aspects of human nature.
