One of the world's most original works of fiction from one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. - "No one ever wrote better about the power struggles of sex and love." --Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize-winning Author of The Golden Notebook Gertrude Morel is a refined woman who married beneath her and has come to loathe her brutal, working-class husband. She focuses her passion instead on her two sons, who return her love and despise their father. Trouble begins when Paul Morel, a budding artist, falls in love with a young woman who seems capable of rivaling his mother for possession of his soul.
